    smoke about 12 a day and 25 odd at weekends..i am trying to get fit again. so I have been jogging in the gym for about a month once or twice a week. last night i did 6 k in 32. I want to be able to do 10k in less than an hour. I will go back tomorrow and push it to 7 k with the same speed. I am not going to up the speed until i can do 10 k without stopping. I have worked it up from 4 k in 25 minutes a month ago.

    You know what would really help?

    Second-best thing is to follow a proper training plan, something like this. But its a distant second.

    They might do, but moderation is always good! No problem mixing up the days to suit your schedule, the important thing is to follow the general guide of the workouts...

    Good luck with it. Ditching the fags would definitely help in attaining these goals, I'm not preaching though, you may manage to juggle both! Look at wayne rooney :pac:
