I love it. Think of how you feel at the end. Makes it all worth while

Me too. I'm gutted I've got a gammy knee at the moment or I'd have been out for a run every day since the temperatures dropped.

My running aim for 2017 was to do a half marathon in 2:10, managed it on my very last run of the year with a new PB of 2:08. Over the moon with that. Would love to think that 2:00 is now a feasible time to aim for in 2018 but we'll see, that's a daunting figure!!!

Been running 5k's for a little bit now but i'm still slow as hell. Best way to get quicker? Increase distance or slowly increase speed?

I would say work on your endurance and then start doing speed work.

What is your time as you might not be as slow as you think. Also, every 5k you do no matter what time is quicker than people sitting on their sofa.

Like 30-35 minutes

That's okay. Do you push yourself? Also how long have you been running as this all factors in for me. I log every time I run and check the split times to see if I'm going off too quick etc.

What time would you like to get too?

Compared to some on here I'm a complete beginner but my advice would be to just keep going out there and pushung yourself, don't worry too much about interval training or anything like that yet.

He's probably going to ignore my advice.

I'm following it, i'm going to slowly increase my time running. Not sure what i'm going to do afterwards.

I've only been back at it a couple of weeks though. I'm on a treadmill for the time being during winter, did 40 mins last night at 8km/hr. Gonna increase it every other until an hour is my thinking.

It's much easier to increase your distance and speed by not running on a treadmill, you'll be surprised how fast you can do 5k off the treadmill. Try the park run on saturday morning's.
