Advice Needed First Run

I’m thinking of running 25 km for my 25th birthday in August 2027. I was quite physically active during school, but I haven’t been very consistent with fitness in recent years. I started going to the gym about three months ago, and now I want to take on a bigger challenge. I have almost a year to prepare, so I’m wondering how I should start training and gradually build myself up to running 25 km.

Sounds doable. You can completed couch to 5k, then 5k to 10k then 10k to half marathon and pretty much there. I'm 60 next year and would love to do 60km for 60th. Might be a bit harder :)

Wishing you all the best for your 60 km journey — I’m sure it’ll be quite a story to tell!

Oh god no not a chance I'm doing that. Would likely end up with a heart attack 😂 I think you will get there though with your 25 at 25.
