In just a short time I have got into a comfortable rut, Doing the same circuit but reducing the time taken. This is not a good way of preparing for a half-marathon.
So I have switched to using the runners forum guide for beginners.
This proposes a repeated alternating walk-run scheme over 20 minutes. Each week the running is extended at the expense of the walking.
I have jumped in at week 3 and this feels about right for me at present. Using the same circuit as the past eight runs, but going round twice to get the full 20 minutes, I find that the running phases seem to coincide with the uphill stretches. Or that is my perception.
By the end of the programme I should be running continuously for the full 20 minutes.
Then all I have to do is extend the 20minutes x 10 for the Bath Half Marathon.

None would live past years again,

And, from the dregs of life, think to receive,
What the first sprightly running could not give. Dryden
