Week 1

Just completed week 1 of ju-ju’s bridge to 10k. I loved the shorter run after the two longer runs, it felt great to turn the speed up for the 2.5 km (I did some intervals steady, fast repeated) and I loved it.

Back to the slower steadier run at the weekend! 🏃🏼‍♀️👍🏻

Does it seem quite good. Is it like the c25k app and how do I get it x

Have a look at ju-ju’s old posts I found it on there!! I’m not sure it’s a podcast or anything? And it’s structured for a slow build of distance. It’s early days for me and I’m not even sure I want to get 10km but who knows? So far so good though! x

I’m doing 5 k regular but not as motivated as not getting that much quicker as I speed up at end naturally and not enjoying it like I was not sure why x

That’s good! I’ve generally slowed my pace and seem to be enjoying the runs a lot more for it as I’ve taken the pressure of time off myself. (I was trying to keep beating my last time...I’m v competitive!!) the first week is 5km, 5.5 and 2.5km in any order. I’ve defo enjoyed having a plan to follow. x

Yes I’m going to have a go at this. What app do you use to count your distance I use strava but I would prefer not to know times and just take it at a nice slow pace for the longer runs x

I just use the distance app on my phone but I’m going to start to wear my husbands fitness tracker watch. Good luck with the runs!

Well done! Shorter runs are really fun when you feel good and can speed up indeed. Enjoy yourself and slow and steady on your longer runs!
