I do!! I have 12 weeks to my first HM, I am looking at training plans!

How important is cross training/ joga etc?

I currently run 1 x 30 mins intervals, 1 x 5-6 km and one long run ( so far longest was just under 18k) per week.

Would appreciate advice tia x

Cross Training is great. I've been introduced to it various times. Never been a huge fan of it. However it is great, you use not only your legs when you run. A strong core is crucial as well as having great balance. They are great bonuses. I would recommend it. First thing first, make sure to put all focus on your endurance training for your first HM. I wish you the best in your H.M. you will do great

What a generous offer to help us C25K would be runners.

I broke my toe ( little one on right foot) 10 days ago. It is strapped to the next toe. My question is should I be exercising? and if so what should i be doing and when can I get back to running?

Thanks

Did you get official diagnosis it is a broken toe? Never exercise on a broken toe, now if it is pain free, Do very little. You want to play it safe. Since you broke your little toe, it shouldn't bring a lot of pain. Take 5 more days off. You do not start losing fitness until day 14-15 of consecutive days of. You'll be fine. Hope you have a speedy recovery

Yes I went to hospital where they xrayed it and confirmed it was broken, Its not painful and the swelling has gone down a lot. What about swimming? After 5 more days what do you suggest I do exercise wise?

Thanks for your help

[trackstar15 in reply to Hidden]

I suggest swimming only if pain free. After 5days I suggest easy running on grass, 10 minutes the first day Ice after,15min next day. Build into it bus keep icing after for a good week
