Take two days of rest during the week. Take one on mondays after your long run and one on thursday. Once you start getting comfortable with this, raise it to 5kms four times a week and run about 10/12kms on sundays after 2 months of the above. Set a target, eg. aim to run the Mumbai half marathon in Jan 07, and you should be able to get there comfortably. Since you have been playing football on a regular basis all your life, you should do just fine(your legs are strong enough to take the strains of running, also good running shoes are a must). If you are in Goa and are running on the beach you will do even better (as its atleast 15% tougher to run on sand). Best wishes, starting a blog might also be a good idea to keep track of your performance and will help me also to help you from time to time. Best wishes.

Its just that I need to train hard to get legs in shape to do the full marathon with a much better time. I need to do atleast 60kms a week to be in any kind of shape to run at the targetted time. As regards the thought process while running, its actually like going on a long drive, running is not really an effort when you get into a rhythm and it almost seems effortless. I personally avoid running with music on, as it distracts my attention (as the traffic is quite heavy at times) and it gives me time to think with a clear mind.@GirishMallyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923948088345062798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22785434.post-1141993607946651722006-03-10T17:56:00.000+05:302006-03-10T17:56:00.000+05:30Hey Girish,Great going man.
