    How far are you running now? When is your 10km run?

    c210k app program exists, I'm about to try it myself but havent started yet so I don't really know... but at least the 5k version of the program has been a success for a lot of people including myself so I think the c210k would be worth looking into

    I am currently training for a half marathon. I used to run half and fulls all the time, but haven't done one in about 3 years. My personal advice would not to worry about pace, but look at hitting distances or time durations. As long as you are getting the miles or the time, its not going to make a difference on how fast you are going, its going to prepare you to hit your goal of completing. :)

    Sign up to any local "Parkruns". Whilst only 5k, they're good practice for a 10k. I did the Birmingham 10k in April and the Parkruns certainly helped.
