After my big day yesterday, I thought it wise to have a rest day so these 4k steps have simply come from 'life' and a couple of strolls to the shop where I would normally have ridden the scooter!
Tomorrow, I will go the park and have decided to show the Runtàstic results to keep a track of progress in my goal of doing 10km non-stop.
I found a couch to 10km schedule on a site called www.runningtips.com and it seems I'm doing the right things with my mix walking and running and especially starting and ending with a brisk walking pace to warm up and warm down. They only recommend 3 days a week but I will do at least something 5 days a week.
Let's see how it goes, problem is, I have it my head I want to do 10km in one hour. Not sure how achievable this is @steevc @revisesociology
10km in an hour is achievable for a lot of people depending on age and how much you can train. Take it steadily to start with and you will see improvements. I have achieved some of my goals, but I have got to a stage where further progress is hard to find.

Thanks for coming back. Im 53 but I am in reasonable shape and not over weight, my BP is perfect for my age......I can get out for a couple of hours a night. The other issue I have is that I find running incredibly boring, being an impatient soul, other than music, any tips please?

We're a similar age, but I started running about 6 years ago. It's great if you start out at a good weight. I listen to podcasts I'm running. I can always find something interesting. Try to find varied training such as intervals.
