Onwards and upwards

Well as the title says “Onwards and upwards” to 10K for me then after C25K, I hope I can do this.

Of course you can! You did C25k didn't you. I used Sami Murphy podcasts to get me there. It's a blast! It's downloadable from here. There will be a link to it on the right in blue text. If not, search for Sami Murphy Bridge to 10k and it should show up. I still run these sessions. The music is specially selected for inspirational lyrics so that when the going gets tough the music will help you

I loved the journey from 5 to 10k, via 6, the 7 and so on, chewing up the kilometers over the weeks and months til finally you reach the promised land that is 10 k.

Have fun!

Couldn't agree more. I used Sami Murphy too but I didn't try to increase my time/distance until I had got used to the routine of running for at least 30 minutes regularly. I thought the first couple of podcasts were going a bit backwards because it was back to the shorter run/walk routine but it did give a good foundation to build on. I didn't manage 5k in week 9 of the C25K programme and I didn't get to 10k with Sami Murphy either but I did get to running non stop for 30 minutes with C25K and for an hour with Sami Murphy. The music with Sami Murphy is much better - no mention of Julie in any of the songs!!

I went for a run last night, 40 minutes and a 5 minute warm up/down walk. Happy days, I will try to do an extra 5 minutes each week from now on and see how I get on with it.

Go for it, you most certainly can and will!
