    Running is all in your head.

    I started running again, I wanted to start running for 30 minutes at a time.. 3 times a week.

    then i realised after a few weeks that that was about 4km o(2.5 mile) .. so i ran that little bit further to do 5km..

    i did this for a month..
    then i jumped up to running for 45.. which was about 8km..

    i did this for about 3 weeks.. then one day i was out running at my wifes familys house, and go lost in the forrest.. i ended up running for an hour. i mapped it out and it was about 10km..

    the strangest thing was, doing 10km seemed exactly the same as doing 7, much the same as doing 7 was to 5..

    that was about a month ago.. i now run 10km at least twice a week.. and depending on time, i either run a 5 or 7.5

    im a big guy, and the first half of the run is more just a warm up jog, but the run back is usually peppered with small 100 meter sprints..
    that said, i hadnt run seriously for about a year before this..

    my point is, your body will just keep running if you put your mind to it.. you wont win any races, but the constant increase in your activity level will be achieved.

    then it just comes down to time..

    finding an hour to go running can be tricky..

    i didnt go today, but i road 60km on my bike.. so i am guessing that counts for more.
