Be organised, start off slow and do the plank every day
• Fit in my 40s: Zoe Williams’ half-marathon training runs into trouble
Have a training plan
Even a free one-size-fits-all training plan that you can download is good (find sample plans at we-run.co.uk). They help you build up your distance safely, and remind you to plan in enough rest and recovery days.
Don’t go too fast on your longer training runs
These practice runs are about building endurance, not speed. Aim for a gentle pace where you can hold a conversation. If you struggle, you will get demotivated. Use your shorter runs for speed training. Most people do three training runs a week.
