| Hi I am very new and inexperienced runner. have not done any exercise for many years, am a smoker and have been running for just 3 weeks (at a very slow pace). Have just completed first 5k race in 31.50, which I was very pleased with...you would think I had just ran a marathon!! Am looking for any tips and advice. My goals are to give up smoking get fitter and to complete 10k then maybe a half marathon eventually!!! I work in pharmacy am married and have two children. Please go easy on me. | |

That's great, nikij!
First bit of advice - quit smoking!! Try this quit smoking article. Besides that, try one of the programs I have on this site, and take your time and work up to running a 10k. Hope you enjoyed that 5k - well done! |

| Wow!! Good for you!! I have been running off and on for several years and my best time is nowhere near as good...however I am quite short and stocky so I have that going against me. | |
