Hi

I've been a regular gym goer for the last 18months and was getting a bit bored with not having a goal to aim for after having lost a load of weight and reached my target. A friend suggested doing fun runs etc as I really enjoy running. I've decided that I want to do 10k runs as its a bit more substantial. I started my training a fortnight ago, and basically am just gradually increasing my distance up towards 10km. At first I could only do about 0.9km, and have managed to get up to 1.5km so far. Am I doing the right thing in just going for a run every few days, and gradually increasing my distance?
