Had the opportunity to measure out the distance of a run I have in mind for the future and it comes out at 7 miles/11.26k, so a few more weeks of consolidation and there's my target

Slow and steady will get you there.

Slow and steady, IannodaTruffe is right...... maybe the C25K+ podcasts and then build up to 10K ?

10K is usually the next step after quite a few more weeks... but.. this is your journey:)

oh I'm not looking to rush it but this has been one of my target runs from when I started, today I just happened to be travelling the route and decided to clock the distance to see where I'm looking to go

Sensible.. for me my goal after 5K was 7K... the magic number for some reason...

yes I think that's got to be the 1st step but happy with 5k for a few weeks yet
