Ding dong.... it’s week 2 of 10 is the Magic number 10k plan 😺

[ju-ju-]

Morning everyone, and welcome to the second week of the 8 week programme to get you from 5 to 10k. How have you got on during the first week?

It was -5 on my run this morning...... brrrrrrrrrr chilly willy! Luckily it was very short.

So anyway for week 2 you need to do:

3k

5k

6k

So this week I would like you to think about your breathing. I share some of my own tips in my vid, and I think this article is useful. I like the fact that they say it's better to breathe through your mouth as I have NEVER been able to breathe through my nose when I run!!!

Here is my vid that explains it all:

OMG i missed week 1 and 2, i am in. Will do 3 k today! then 5 k tomorrow and 6K sunday! to catch up! I always breath thru my mouth too!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Julesyl]

No need to catch up...its a rolling plan. Start at Week 1, there will be others doing the same. You need to build slowly by doing ALL the weeks.

😊x

Always take your rest days in between every run. At least one non-running day.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Julesyl]

Don’t panic, it’s a rolling programme and you can do the weeks whenever you want in the programme....l. And well done too 😎

[SueKen Graduate10]

Aha! This weekend will be a challenge! So far this week I have done 3.5km and 6km, so I just need to get in another 5km and job done. Trouble is, I’m off for a spa weekend - it really will mean I am a runner if I find time and motivation to get on a running machine during the break!

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to SueKen]

Enjoy the spa..... and I always think it’s fun to explore in new places.... enjoy 😎

[SueKen Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

It turns out I really might be a runner - I was on the running machine to do 5k before breakfast this morning😊. But oh my, are running machines dull!

[O505k Graduate10]

Managed to do the 5.5k on Sunday and the 5k on Friday of week 1. Real life got in the way on Wednesday and couldn't fit in the 2.5k. I'm going to move on the Week 2 tomorrow assuming we are snow free.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to O505k]

Don’t pani, and see how you go....I am quite excited about this North Pole extravaganza next week, I love running in dramatic weathers.... or perhaps I’m just completely nuts!!

[O505k Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Beautiful bright morning but cold. Wrapped up warm and completed the 6k. My week day runs are in the gym so should be able to do even if the blizzards arrive. Hoping work doesn’t get in the way this week.

[GoogleMe Graduate10]

Happy confession time... having joined up for inspiration as my first quarter 2018 target was to get back to 10k... and enjoying the first video... I semi-accidentally ran a 10k last Monday. Left my car and ran the cycle path all the way home. Actually, home, up the bloody steep garden and along the track behind a bit just to get that 10k.

I blame it on the Google as she was being weird about other dogs and people and I had to keep doubling back for her.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to GoogleMe]

Great run by you, and Google!

Well done...hope you have recovered ok😊xx

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to GoogleMe]

Well done, and I bet that that felt great, good old Google 😎

[GoogleMe Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Ha! (Although I have to say a number of my longer runs have been achieved thanks to some canine foible or misdemeanour)

Tell you what did feel weirdly good...running through the middle of town during business hours. Come a long way! But eeew, all those hard surfaces.

[Uphill-downhill Graduate10]

Hi Ju-Ju add me in please I've just completed Week 1 today with a lovely 5.5k along the river Severn in the sunshine Thankyou

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Uphill-downhill]

Will do... and well done...

[Trying2run Graduate10]

I’m off out now for week 2 run 3. Did my first park run yesterday for w2r2 5k. I wasn’t last but I’m so sloooooow. I think I was the last person who ran the whole course.

So off to do 6k now. Before it snows possibly all of next week

[Sarakc Graduate10]

Hi! Going well so far! Just started week 2 this morning and had a lovely crisp 5K run. Had a bit of problem with my earphones so ended up without any music or anything! I was going to do the speed podcast! Might do that next week instead! It’s great having a plan though and I’m colouring in each run as I do it!! 😀

[icklegui]

Wahey! Done the long run - feels great to get it in the bag. Hope not too much ice this week to stop me getting in a midweek run. Chuffed to have even done one week of this excellent plan. Did some intervals in the 2.5K run on Friday ... ooooooof. Felt it working though!

[Richard7 Graduate10]

Need to get my head screwed on! Ran wrong distance and forgot about the breathing thing! Funnily last night I had to pick my daughter up from the train station and whilst waiting for her I walked around the station a few times trying to focus on my breathing! So at least I did the breathing "not running" next run will try and bring both together!!

[bsimonuk Graduate10]

Finished week 1 x 5,5 k yesterday . Will start week 2 tomorrow with the 3 k . So far so good

[Hidden]

Just the 5k run to do now, but we are under snow again. I did the 6k on the treadmill today (my second ever 6k) and it was 'orrible. My tiny treadmill really is for emergencies, and not advisory for runs over 3k. So two runs this week on the dreaded machine. I'm hoping for a thaw to do the 5k run outside.

[bsimonuk Graduate10]

I am going to do 5 k today on treadmill but dreading it !

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to bsimonuk]

Don’t overthink it just do it....... good luck 😎

[bsimonuk Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Did the 5 k yesterday on the treadmill . Wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be as I listened to your advice Juju. My treadmill is set to miles . So I ran 3,2 miles which is just over 5 k

Hoping to do the 6 k run outside tomorrow
