Well basically I am going to be running a 10km assault course in october for charity after having to walk most of it last year i am determined to i will run it this year!

I can currently do just short of 2km at a 10km/h pace without stopping .
My goal is to do the the run at that pace but for the total 10km.

So I have given myself a few weeks to get to that 2km point, then to keep up with that target It would seem I would have to add 300-400m a week.

Does that sound reasonable or am i tackling this in the wrong way?

I have never been a runner really tbh.


PS i apologise for that hideous specimen of a man on the left, but its my own motivation ha.

Currently down 7kg woop through pure dieting and no exercise as of yet.


Also my plan was going to be like Monday-thursday do the run , hill sprints on friday , rest weekend and try and up the distance on the following monday for the week.

    Well, since you have until October, you probably have plenty of time.

    If I was in your spot, I would start with couch to 5k then do the bridge to 10k after that.

    Try using C25k (Couch to 5k) then add the B210k (Bridge to 10k) programs. They are excellent for building endurance and helping you run in a way as to not push yourself so hard you hurt yourself

    In 6 months I went from running a 5k in 28:15 to 24:49
    In 6 more month I got down to 22:22

    I'd say you probably could do it more realistically in under 70 min if you were to aim for a goal time.

    See how you are improving later :D

    good luck!!
