    Thanks so much for this advice. I'm running my first race ever, a 10K ( not sure why but have skipped doing a 5K...is this wise?!!) in May. Do you have any tips for training? I am doing the Bridge to 10K program and am currently running around 8.5K with two 1 min walk breaks.

    Thank you for this! I'm running my first 5k in July, so ages away yet, but this will all really come in handy.

    My first 5 k is on 25th! This was just what I needed to read tonight! Thanks for your effort! Am also interested in the running with dog issue. My lab is 9 months old and I would love to know when he can start rubnning with me. Did you know there is a Pooch to 5k programme??

    Givemewings - I am doing the B to 10k also and ran 8.3ks this morning!

    I just did my first 8km race a couple of weekends ago with over 70,000 others! This would have been great to read even though it went really well. I laughed at the de-shoeing comment... I did that to a lady in front of me. She was most annoyed.
