If you haven't run for a while I'd suggest doing the C25K programme, then see where you are. You'll find lots of advice here.good luck x

hi Zille your get alot of support from this group as you try to reach what ever goals you have. But before start training I would try and work out your current fitness what it is now go for a slow run and see how far you get or out of breath. Then you can work out a training plan from that point.

I used to smoke too Zille, but have just done my first marathon.

It took me about 18 months to prepare, but at your age you could should be a lot quicker. However, as others have suggested, best to build up relatively slowly.
