Evening, so for the last 4 or 5 weeks since graduation I’ve been running 3 x 5ks a week, just readfirming thebrunning habit. I wanted to start ju jus 10 k plan but the family holiday this year is in May , just under 6 weeks away and I fancy starting it after that. So as a start amd some prep I ve increased my weekly runs to 6k’s and will do this until after the hol when I’ll start properly .

I ran this morning at about 10am, it was after the school run and the weather was already getting hotter . I’ve ran in snow and rain and wind but never this warm and it was an eye opener , think I’ll stick to dawn patrols or dusk patrols in the height of summer months ( weeks probably coz , England 🤦🏻‍♂️)

Weather aside , I felt the distance was fine, to be honest I think I could of pushed it to 7k but didn’t want to over do it , i certainly don’t think I could of reached 8 or any further.

Hope everyone well and enjoying the sun 👍🏻

She’s starting a new program on 20th. I’m starting then straight after graduation. Also away in June for a week but I’m going to start anyway. If you’re moving to 6k, you may as well just start as week 1 is only 5.5k!

you will reach 8k and more. I was where you are, reaching 6k. I started the plan and quite soon reached 8k. You will be fine. I just found I needed more than one rest day after the longer runs.
