  • Very reasonable goal in fact a lot of people do a 10K and 6 months later have done a half marathon. Though the time scale depends on how healthy you are. There are lots of programs out there e.g. runners world, bupa, but the general aim is to do one long run a week at steady pace. Some programs do increasing time while…

  • You need to eat the calories you earned. I tried Weight Watcher years ago where they give you a few extra points for exercise.
