After a few hold-ups due to illness, last night I went out and completed the final run of Ju-Ju's wonderful 10k programme. I actually ran a full 10k in a time of 1 hour 6 minutes and 43 seconds, and was absolutely buzzing when I got home, and am still in disbelief this morning.
18 months ago I could hardly run 200 metres without being out of breath and here I am now running for over 1 hour non-stop and still feeling quite fresh at the end
My brother is already trying to talk me into taking part in the Great North Run but I think I will consolidate for the remainder of the year and then see how I feel next year

Hi pinkaardvark, I was aiming for a 1h10m 10k and surprised myself with the final time. I think that once you have broken the barrier of running for an hour then it should become easier going forward as you have not only broken that barrier physically but also mentally, which as we know is sometimes the biggest challenge.
Well done, that is a good time and a great acheivement.😎
I did Ju ju's plan last November, and am doing it again now... I enjoyed the journey and the three different runs. I know others who did it have kept their distances up, and now do one run over an hour every week...
Congratulations! Really well done. Enjoy your success. I recently managed 10k and I’m now trying to consolidate by doing it once a week. I still feel pretty pleased with myself every time I finish! Happy running and good luck with whatever you decide to do from here 😀👍
