Running thread

I am just getting back into the running again, only looking to do maybe 5k runs at the moment but may build up.

What is more important, distance or speed?

Both. If your looking for any tips just pm me. Ignore Inchy - hasn’t a fucking clue. Seen faster snails.
 
Ran 3km in 17.49 this morning before work. Not bad considering I’m overweight and haven’t done a timed run since the 10km in May :)

Miles in the legs.
Don't worry about speedwork until you get close to 30 miles a week
 
Some of these guys are just hoping to get Park runs under 30 minutes mate, never mind approach 30 miles a week!!
I know but someone specifically asked about whether to concentrate on speed or distance.
I'd be happy to get round 5k myself at the moment. I want to get back into my running. Used to run a lot to a decent standard a few years back then I got ibs (I'm convinced it was from the stress of the 2012 title race) and had to stop. I've tried to get going again with limited success but I've put on load so weight and now need to shift it and running will be my best bet.

i am trying the highly recommended fartleck approach tomorrow - walk a bit run a bit walk a bit run a bit.
