really good session today. Must be the first time I've run for 15 minutes in one go since school - and I did it twice! Slightly more challenging than a walk in the park, but really enjoyed it and actually didn't want to stop when it was time.
Had a good long chat with my dad on the phone this afternoon too. He lives out in Spain and we don't get to catch up much barring the odd chat on facebook. Similar to me, he decided, back in his mid 30s, to get off his arse and get fit: ran a couple of marathons, progressed on to triathlons then spent several years working as a fitness instructor. One thing I've realised since starting the training is that everyone's got different ideas about the 'right' way to do things, and for someone like me who basically knows nothing, all the conflicting input can be confusing. Feeling much happier after my chat with my old man with where I am now, what I've achieved so far, and the road ahead

Is it better for the training that you stop even if you feel you could carry on for longer?

I've got loads of time, and what I don't want to do is overdo it early doors and risk pushing myself too far and potentially getting injured. This morning was the first time I'd moved up to 15 minute bursts of running (each followed by 5 minutes walking), so to try to do more even though I felt like it had it in me probably wouldn't have been the best idea. Next week it'll be 20/5/20/5, followed by 25/5, and the week after I should be continuously running for 30 mins.
Taking it easy and being sensible ftw

Very much so, overtraining can be worse than undertraining for a couple of reasons
Firstly there's the risk of injury especially early on when the body isn't used to the new range of movements
And then there's the problem of fatigue which is very difficult to spot but will affect your training massively. Most people won't notice they're fatigued unless they stop exercising for some reason and will just train through it only the training will be nowhere near as effective as it should be

Depends on the person, some people just train better than others. I go REALLY slow for a week or two, as I always get bad DOMS to begin with. Then happily run 5-6 miles without any problems, or soreness, the next day.
As Gatso said, you feel fine when running but its in the following days when you find out if you have overdone it. Depends on your exercise experience too. Many, many moons ago I exercised and competed a lot, so have an awareness of what works and what doesn't, same for kinbo and Gatso I expect

You're doing great Claire. Not only are you completing the required leg work, you're wanting more at the end.
Gatso's book seems to be working wonders, stick to what it says. As you say, you have plenty of time.

Berlin Marathon sold out on 8th December by the look of things
I thought this was my one out but thinboshi said try the charity places. So in a half hearted attempt to fail I chose a smaller one and didn't pledge a lot.
They phoned me yesterday I have a place sigh
Please can someone chalk up flight dates hotels etc.
Oh and my running diary looks like Hopkins diary from last year.
