Don't get stuck in the idea that you have to run the entire 60 minutes even during the race. I did 6 miles over the weekend. I ran the first mile at about a 9min 20 sec pace. For the next 4 miles I ran the same pace but did a 1 min walk break after each 4 min run. I then ran the last mile or so. I still finished the 2 whole 6 miles in just over 60 minutes. I know thats not a fast pace but it helps to lessen the likliehood of injury and lets you cover more distance. Check out Jeff Galloway's books and website.

i'm not actually anywhere near the 10k race point yet...i just ran my first 5k last weekend and am looking for ways to increase my running endurance (with intervals)...i found the C25k program prepped me to run for 30 minutes straight, but i took 38 minutes to run the 5k, so i wasn't quite prepared for that...
