Mine is simply to keep doing what I have done this month! Regular gym sessions and meeting my weekly calorie intake. The rest should just work itself out!

Thanks! Yes I was chuffed when I managed the 5k but to be fair I was doing other cardio before that so had built some stamina. Of course running injury-free should be a primary goal. I am going to make sure I give myself a day between runs at least and probably 2 days after a longer distance.

Cheers all. I'll probably run outdoors once I have get used to it on the treadmill and watch to mix it up.

Thanks everyone for your input! It has really been informative and it's clear that the best way to progress for me is to add up the milage at a comfortable pace. Now I will do two runs a week to 5k, just as I have been but wil change the third run I will make a longer distance run. I won't worry about speed / incline…

Thanks. That does give me food for thought as it is something that I did not consider but makes sense.

Thanks for the input. The reason I wanted to add incline was to make it more realistic compared to an outdoor run. I think HIIT/Speed interval might be what I should try next and then once I am more happier with my pace to include some incline.
