Have you looked into foam rolling to improve flexibility. The reason I ask is that we recently submitted an article to running Fitness magazine providing the top 10 stretches, and most of the ones we provided were foam rolling. If you go to our website, we sell them and also have a chart to help you on your way. Hope you're training well, Mitchell StrideUK</p> Hello again Mark, Just a quick note to see how you’re doing.

When I started running, last June, I was about 16 stone (too scared to weigh myself), pretty heavy for my height! When I did my first 10km last september, I was about 14.5st but I did it in 64mins. So far this summer I've done three 10km's and a half marathon. I did my last two 10km races in around 55mins (one just over, one just under). Oh.. as for the weight, last time I weighed myself I was around 12st 9lds. Have fun!!!</p> I think about a year ago I was pretty much where you are now.

I did my couch to 5k training last summer. Sunday will be the culmination of 5k-10 training and--I'll be lucky to do it in an hour and a half. I'm on the Roman Legion plan right now run 6 minutes, walk 2 minutes. Like you if I could achieve a 60 minute 10 k I think I probably would aim for more, it would just make running 5ks 3-4x a week seem doable. Good luck with your goals.</p> I was glad to find your post today. I did my couch to 5k training last summer.
