    I'm no runner, always been a sprinter, but last year I got myself a treadmill and i try to make sure i go on at least once a week. It used to be twice a week minumim, but now doing once a week is a struggle but most of the time I do manage it. I've been threatening to do a half marathon on the treadmill, and 3 weeks ago i finally did it. A bit boring when on a treadmill, but i know for sure I wouldn't have fancied it outside. Managed it in 2 hours. I always aim for a 10 minute mile - not great I know, but it's the only way it feels comfortable to me. My previous best was 8.5 miles on it, but that final 3 miles seemed very tough.

    Good luck anyway mate, hope you manage it. Forget times, doing it at all is better than what most can manage.
