FAO Running Men & Women

I'm down for the 6miles in August.

When do I need to start practicing?

Bear in mind I've cycled about 12 miles a day for the last 7 years but not so much as done more than a 3 yard jog after an errant toddler in the same timespan.

I was thinking April-ish, run for 20 mins and build it up from there.

Cheers.
