if i was in london i'd go to one of the 5k races at least twice a month to check how i was doing

probably vary the location too otherwise it would get boring </BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, thinking of going once a month now I'm back in the area now. Just slightly too far out of town to think of going more than that and unfortunately it might be BPTT each time since the others are even further than that, but it'll be a good way to judge progress.

shortest race i've done is last nights 9k tbh, prefer longer myself but i wouldn't mind doing a 5k to see how fast i can go

I'm so out of shape at the moment and had no end of shin problems over the past year that I am not going to bother applying this year.

I hope to be in a position to run a 10k by the end of the year and just build up really slowly and efficiently from there.

there's 10000 online applications allowed this year, of which 2000 will get in. They opened yesterday, so better be quick.

I'd have posted it in my first post, but I thought it would link from the homepage.

You've got no excuse now
