Muscle memory is a god send. Once you get out again thats the hardest part consistency is key. Start small and build up. | |||

"Only seeing this thread now. Been back running last 4 months, started the park runs too, still not cracked 30 mins but every run has involved a 'few' pints the night before so I imagine a night off it I'd be fit for 28 and under as during the week I'm able to keep up with the more serious runners for a good part of the run and usually near the front of 800/400m runs. Just hit the brick wall around 2mile and the head isn't in it to keep going if during a park run I lose everyone else. Did a muscle or nerve in the lower back 10days when put running so sitting out the local 5/10k tonight :/. Had been hoping to move up to 10's by now as started moving up to 4/5mile with only one or two breaks. Anyone good tip for exercises for the lower back? Taking at least the next week off to rest it as well. " Ur deffo going out way to fast in the park runs U have to run at ur pace and only ur pace , U are way better off starting slower and work into the race , it doesn’t not matter what times we all do but principles are same for everyone , U have to build up a level off fittest , just try get 3/4 runs in aweek if u can , short and long ones Again everyone’s long runs are different so if ur starting out ur long run could be 4/5 mile , build up slowly , enjoy ?? | |||

"That's the problem, I very been trying to go slow, just lowering my natural pace but when I check my stats after I'm actually going a lot quicker (trust me it's not intentional), so during the practice runs I'm purposely hanging at the back of the group but feel absolutely fkd a lot quicker " Yea every has that problem going out to fast in a race , so 30 min 5 km is 9;40 a mile so just run and keep looking at ur watch don’t go faster than 9;40 | |||
