Good luck with that mate, slow and steady, 10 minutes miles is 2 hours, easily doable imo, like I say just take your time.
@Stuuuuuu can probably give you more advice.
Thanks mate, yep, I need to be back for the kids getting up for breakfast at 6.15am!

Can anyone recommend some decent running trainers online?
Nothing expensive but nothing cheap either, something middle of the road.
This and advice please In transitioning from walking to running?
I’ve lost 2 stone the last 2 months by walking, walking and walking! Can easily do 10 miles walks now at a pace of 15 mins per mile. Just gone under the 17 stone mark today so still heavy and I don’t want to run if it’s going to injure me because I’m still quite heavy.

I'm running ten miles a day for a month (4am each day) in aid of charity 'Mind' in April.
So roughly the equivalent of 12 marathons in 31 days.
I have no running experience. I don't like running.
It will take me to some dark and painful places but I will do it.
Lots of cold baths.
In all honesty, my advice would be 'don't run 10 miles a day for a month if you've got no running experience.' I really, really don't want to be negative, but if I were a betting man, I would place my mortgage on this resulting in injury. Much better to a) build up the distance and b) have days off.Good luck with that mate, slow and steady, 10 minutes miles is 2 hours, easily doable imo, like I say just take your time.

But you're still going to do it, right? So I would just suggest that, as Inchy says, you go slowly - easy, conversational pace every time - eat well and sleep well.
Oh and cold baths won't be of much use. I would enjoy nice warm ones instead.
Go to a specialist running shop and try out lots of pairs. Following others' recommendations isn't advised as they will have a different running gait etc. to you. I'm not in Manchester these days so I can't suggest a particular shop, I'm afraid.Can anyone recommend some decent running trainers online?

I couldn't slow myself down to 10 minute miles if I tried, don't know how people do it.

Seriously though, just do it gradually. Gentle jogs over short distances at first. Gradually build it up. It's no more complicated than that.The cheque is in the post as we speak ;-)

Will the jog 60 seconds then walk 30/60 be the best way to start whilst keeping my current distances up that I’m walking or just run all the time but cut right back on distance?
