I did it. so I started from being able to run for 5 mins, and then just kept upping it bit by bit. aim to run for five k and dont worry if its a mix of walking and running, it takes a while to get fitness levels up. and make yourself a ipod tune list (if you run the same route with the same play list you can measure how youre doing with where you are when a certain song comes on. I did my first 10 k this year, the adrenaline gives you a bit of a boost, its amazing feeling and when i finished i cried like a big girl. I didnt use a personal trainer as I am way to tight but lots of people like the additional discipline.


good luck!

Look up the 'Couch to 5K' courses to start with and don't skimp on the early stuff.


It's tempting sometimes to skip the odd break and push yourself for an extra few minutes in the early stages since you feel OK. Don't do it... it's those early low intensity stints that get your heart fit and lay the foundations for comfortable running later. I'm speaking from experience having done it both the wrong way and the right way.


10K is a lovely distance... do-able in an hour for most people so training doesn't take shedloads of time out of your week and it's quite a relaxing distance.

If you go to 'Whats on in E'dulwich' you will see FREE! Fitness in your Park.


This contains powerwalkers, joggers and runners - working together, they meet at 10am on Saturdays at the Rye, or contact info@AHM-Go.com. There will be a 2.5Km & 5Km on the Rye for February, so you have an event to focus on. In this group, you will work your way up from zero to the level you aspire to.


Tuesday evenings Loulou takes a FREE jogging / running group which meets at the bottom of the Rye.


If you are looking for a Personal Fitness Trainer, I can recommend a lady who works in Schools, outdoor groups and trains celebs for events or getting ready for filming. One of her clients has Fibromyalgia and have been training together, starting for her first 5Km last year, then increased to a 10Km and completed a 1/2 marathon in september.


For 2011, Project London Health will be setting up specific 5Km, 10Km & 20Km (1/2 marathon) trials.......


I hope this helps

    • The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.
    • Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.
    • He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .
    • Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
