I really need to get started on strength and flex, hope I don't turn my alarm off, I will do this on Wednesday and Saturday and my running on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. That gives me 2 days off. I know that 3 times a week is ideal but I am struggling to find the time.
Fingers crossed

Well I was getting up at 5am to run twice a week, but now negociated 1 work from home day per week, so I moved one of my run days to the day I work from home and will use that early start for strength and flex : )
Twice a week will do nicely... NHS recommendations are 150+ minutes of cardio and two strength sessions a week... flexibility helps with it all of course. Yoga and the likes combine strength and flex into one session... and you post run stretches add up to what I’d count as a full session too!
Welcome aboard. As with the running, start small and build up slowly. If you’re working weights at any point, quality repetitions are better than quantity... resist gravity on the way down and raise the weight in a controlled manner for best results and low injury risk.
I've been early rising twice since I started, so I know I can do that. It's just swapping days around to have the slightly longer run time (no commute on Thursdays any more) for the 5k runs from the bridge to 10k programme which take me longer to do at the moment. Hop ing that will speed up soonish
