A great new place to chat about our running.

It is so exciting to have a bridge to 10km community.

I personally used the Asics plan to move up to 10km.

I am a slow burner so as with C25K I had to repeat some weeks but it is all about the journey not how fast it takes you to get there.

Let's hope we get some really good links going of all the different plans we can have a look through.

Looking forward to meeting new and old members on this brilliant new forum.

Here is mine for starters

Also I had a lot of trouble finding a bridge to 10km time plan that suited my pace so I came up with my own. Here is a link to the PDFs booklet.

Hi Rfc, I agree this will be a great community for those who are transitioning from 5k to 10k, especially after completing the c25k programme!

A programme/guide that myself and a few of my friends have used is from Runner's World. They have follow along programmes that can be used depending on how many weeks you are running before you reach your goal and also how many times a week you plan to run.

Runner's World plan:

I'd love to see what everyone else has been using, as it's always good to try new things!

I would also recommend Asics, that is what I am currently using

I work at HealthUnlocked and have not participated in the c25k forum, but I am looking forward to meeting fellow distance runners here!

Lovely to meet everyone!

I didn't follow a specific plan to get to 10k after C25K - just extended one long run per week by half a k or so and eventually got there. I don't do regular 10k runs - it feels a bit far for me, as I am quite slow (run/walk pace about 7.45m/k) - I usually just run for an hour on my longer runs once a week and see how far that takes me. Now I know I can do it, that was kind of enough for me!

I don't do races; I run solo; I occasionally get demotivated if I think too much about how fast everyone else goes when I know I'm doing my best, which is not very constructive; I'm not particularly competitive.

I mainly run to assuage the guilt for all those slices of cake, to keep my fitness up (which is the best it's ever been since I was at primary school) and because I CAN, which is the best thing of all!

Does this mean I can officially big up Sami Murphy podcasts? A whole new audience to bore rigid

Hehe bore away miss wobble. 😃.

Very much agree RFC, I graduated from C25k in January and I would like to do a 10k (eventually) !!

Oh My Goodness!! You're back xxx

I did my first 10k using Julie Creffield's plan as I'd not heard of Sami back then. To be fair though Sami's is just running whereas Julie's gave you detailed instructions on the exercises you should be doing to get you fit to get to 10k. Being fit for it is key! Don't try and stint on the fitness stuff as you could get injured.

Hi Realfoodieclub!

Is this officially the first post in the b210k forum? Just stumbled on it.

Can I join if I don't play bridge?
