Signed myself up for a 10k. Eeeeek!

Hi all, I graduated C25K on 30th December and today signed myself up for the Oxford Town and Gown 10k in mid-May, in aid of Muscular Dystrophy.

I'm really excited! I'm already running 5k so I figure I should be fine to hit 10k by May without pushing myself too hard. It feels great to think I can challenge myself and put my new hobby to good use at the same time by raising some money for a good cause.

Feeling very motivated and excited to see where running can take me in 2018! 😊

Awesome! I’m only on week 6 but excitedly scouting out runs around me for further on in the year. Good luck!

Sign up to ju-ju- 's 10L plan on Bridge to 10K forum...... :)

You will have to get in some consolidation runs first, but it is a superb plan... I repeated it before Christmas to get back to 10K after being on the IC:)

You have a great target.. :)

Go for it! It's good to have a focus and raising money for a very worthwhile cause will keep you going. Good luck!

You could go up to running 10k from 5k in as little as 6 weeks so you have given yourself an acheivable goal with plenty of wriggle room. Good luck!

Well done for competing C25K it’s a great program. Good luck in all your running 🏃‍♂️ in 2018

That's an excellent plan, a great cause, and I think you have plenty of time to work up to a comfortable 10k. Happy running in 2018!
