Right, I've had a look at a few sites on the internet (notably http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm) and have come up with a bit of a training plan for myself. I play football twice a week, so I'm going to continue doing that. I'll go to the gym on a Tuesday for some free weights/strength training. Thursday's I'll rest. Friday's I'll go for a short run. Then Saturday or Sunday I'll do a longer run (the other day of the weekend I'll rest). The weekend run will get longer and longer as the date of the race gets nearer.
I've also come up with a few running routes of increasing distance, both in Abingdon, where I live, and Oxford, where I work. See the links at the right for maps.
Anyway, I'm going to get the ball rolling by going for a run tomorrow!
