At present I only run every other day at most as it seems so difficult if I go out every day, although I would like to run 5 times a week.
Do you think I can get through this barrier, or should I just listen to my body and have alternate days off.

You could always swim on the other days
Later on, when your body is more use o things, up to 4 times a weekm then 5
But ALWAYS listen to your body
This is my third build up to a marathon and it gets easier (although never easy!!)
I hope you're following your own advice Benz :-)
When you are accomplishing all this fairly easily you could consider moving up to 5 sessions.

Does anyone have any advice for old folks with dodgy knees? Mine seem to suffer above any other body parts.
Cheers
My old dodgy legs have let me down 'cos I didn't realise I was overdoing it, so haven't been able to run for 2 weeks, and now 'seriously' fed-up with it. Do as I say, not as I did.
I am running the Edinburgh marathon in June. When should i start to train serioulsy or follow one of the training plans. I currently run 4 times a week. 3 out of the 4 runs are about 5-6 miles and my long run is at 11-12 miles. I don't won't to peak to some or over train. Any ideas welcome.

When I started a few years ago I had very dodgy knees and foot problems. I built up very slowly and as everything strengthened up the aches and pains steadily, but fairly rapidly, went away. The secret is to make haste slowly and ensure taht you get plenty of recovery time.

Funny place to post tis question
try posting on the ultra thread at the bottom, start your own thread
youll soon have plenty of advice
When are you planning on your first marathon
I also walk about 5 miles a day, to and from work and with the dog morning and night. I'm introducing the dog to running too though only 3 miles as she's quite young.
I want to run more often so any suggestions as to how I can deal with that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
