I'm in training for my first 5k which I'll then extend to 10k and so on. There are some great apps out there which help. There's a good one on the NHS website called 'Couch to 5k' which uses interval training along with a motivational voice-over coach. It tells you how long to run for then how long to walk etc and gradually adjusts until it's a full out 5k run. I've lost almost a stone since the end of April using mine and I'm aiming for the Swansea Bay 10k in September
