What next?

[Tasha99]

So I got to 10k yesterday. I’m not interested in going further for the moment but do want to improve my pace, mainly for 5k. What should my weekly running plan be? I’d considered:

Run 1 faster paced 4K or 4K with intervals (if I can but I find them hard!)

Run 2 5k ParkRun

Run 3 longer, slower run. Should this be 10k every week?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I guess 1 shoe does not fit all. Howvere mine is similar to yours but a different order. I am now tempted to join a running group for more structure but not done enough research on the clubs yet

Oooh yes I’d contemplated that too 👍🏽 thanks

I'm wasn't interested in going further either, just give it a couple of weeks 😂😂

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Oh no! I feel exhausted thinking about it. 😂 Good for you!

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

I got to 15k a couple weeks back, I actually think once you can do 10k most of the rest is the mental battle, unfortunately my asthma holds me back a lot of the time, going to do a 7k tomorrow

Well done! You’ll be doing half marathons soon! 💪🏽

You may find you are quicker at 5k runs now you have done some longer distance runs Tasha, I did.

Congratulations on your 10k run, thats brilliant. Ask for your Graduate badge here...

Well done Tasha99.

I used the excellent 5k training guides from runningfastr.com/5k-trainin... and steadily worked my way throught the plans - now closing in on 24 mins

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to slowdave]

Ooh thanks I’ll take a look!

[seaspaniel in reply to slowdave]

Will you be changing your handle to slightlyfasterdave?

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to seaspaniel]

😂

[slowdave Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

I like the idea, slightlyfasterdave until I crack the 24 mins and then superfastdave - damn those personal running goals!

Admin, how do I change my username?
