Hi there,

Im looking to improve my running, 28 year old male, mostly a swimmer and cyclist up until the age of 20. Never ran properly in my life. I can do 1K on the treadmill at around 9kph in around 6min 30 before almost collapsing. Weigh around 14 stone. More of a bulky build, not lean, not tall and not meant for running!

10k booked in for late April. Anyone else in a similar boat of not having ran properly before? Struggling to find a decent speed to get me used to running. I asked a personal trainer and looked on the internet and general consensus seems to be if you are doing 1k in anything less than 6 minutes then just give up.
 
Well abit of better news I decided to push it and managed to do around 3.5k took me almost 25 minutes with some walking inbetween. Ordered some trail running shoes in preparation!
