Welcome to week 8, the final week of the 10 is the Magic Number plan!!!! Whoop woop....

How are you all doing? I got a super early train this morning to come down to see my family in Hayle. I had a lovely run with my sister after lunch. I am not used to running where there are people...all a bit odd and rather discombobulating.

So the plan this week is for a:

4k

5k

10k

Feel free to join at any time whatever stage you are on....

Fantastic well done.....and Thankyou so much, I love itโ€™s here....

Well, during week 2 I decided to put the B210K on the back burner for a while. Over the weeks I been increasing my distance gradually, but nowhere near what this plan recommends.

But today I set out on what I believed was going to be my first 8K run, started slow and after 3K decided to drop the distance and just run till I felt like giving up, in a sensible way!

Low and behold in the 8th and final week of the plan, I somehow have accidentally managed to run my first 10K run. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ‡

Oh I wish.... they all tease me at the gym when I wear them. I have a matching gold top for special occasions and when Iโ€™m feeling thin ( Iโ€™ve only worn it twice) ๐Ÿ˜•

Your lovely pic reminds me of the thing I always forget before I go out-my lippy!!!!!!! Heading out for last 9k on the plan tomorrow, before the final week! Its been great and amazing to find out what I can do, when someone else tells me what to do! Charity top for the Parks Half in October turned up yesterday- so I guess thatโ€™s real then๐Ÿ˜‚

I am so pleased, and you have the right amount of time to get you to that HM. Have you got a plan?

My flipping lippy, I feel jinxed if I forget. The best thing about this one is that I can put it on for my run and leave it for work and it stays on all day. Job done.

Not got a 10k to HM plan yet. Iโ€™ll need to consolidate the 10k for a couple of weeks first, I think( week8 on repeat!). Then Iโ€™ll start extending that Sunday long run and see how I go- unless you have a cunning plan ๐Ÿค”

Iโ€™m impressed with the stickability of that lippy-if I do put some on, its all gone after 5k!

Hi Ju- Ju, just completed my C25K and bought the Bridge to 10k app- Hope thatโ€™s the one everyone is talking about. Can you please add me to the list and how does it all work alongside one another.....?

ju-ju- profile image
ju-ju-Graduate10โ€ข in reply toS4BEW

Hello..... and well done on graduating. It is entirely up to you how to get 10k and that app sounds like a great idea. This rolling programme just gives folk a suggested structure but more importantly a weekly opportunity to get support, advice and a bit of discussion too...

Hi JuJu,

Hope all good.๐Ÿ‘

I have been building my long easy run each second week for a few weeks now, so far 3x10k and longest 12.6k toward the HM distance.

Also want to attempt to post a 5k PB during weeks 3 or 4 of Abiโ€™s speed challenge.

I am a novice,and I would like to accommodate both above goals,is it possible to join your 10 the magic number 10 k programme and still pursue these goals, or is it easier to just delay the HM goal.

How important is it to stick rigidly to your programme, alla C25k, or is it OK to do more than your plan, respecting proportional guidance, of course.

I have probably completed around 3 months of consolidation. 15k minimum and running 3 hours / wk at my slow pace.Steadily building to 30k and 6hours running.

I think you may have enrolled me for the 15/06/18 group.

Sorry to be a pain,I just do not know enough.

Hi Tbae, I think you know more than you think.... and you are doing brilliantly. As for your goals and plan, as you say the best is to stick with the proportions ( 10% rule etc) but do what is right for you. This plan is a guide and I am not a big believer in conforming to rigid rules but I am a big believer in preventing injury. We are all different and we move towards our running goals in different ways in different times. So- my personal Dave would be that you could:

1.Do more than the plan for your work towards HM ( 10% rule weekly)

2.Work towards the 5k PB as one run each week is a 5k and an interval session.

3. Every 4 weeks have a reset week where you do very little mileage in order to give your body a well deserved rest.

4. Enjoy it and have fun ( this is the most important one).

I hope this is helpful?

Bagged my week 8 10k this morning, so maybe last week wasn't a fluke after all. Didn't enjoy it though and have been tired all day :D

While I was running I was wondering what happens now - no way do I want to feel like that every weekend, but if I don't keep up the 10k won't I lose it? The last - and worst - 10 minutes of my run gave rise to a plan - I will do your magic 10k plan again! I've see others repeating it and wondered why? But suddenly it makes perfect sense to me! I will build up to 10K again. On the way I will have a go at running outside on the short run of the week - see if these glute exercises have made my hip any more durable in the great outdoors.

So thanks for this ju-ju- and please could you put me down again for the next one? :)

Ju-ju just wanted to thank you for getting me to 10k. Your plan really worked for me and have recommended it wholeheartedly to the rest of the gang at work who are just completing their c25k. (Weโ€™re all doing a 10k charity run in September). Thanks again - Iโ€™m hooked! X

Hi Ju-Ju-. Just wanted to add my thanks too for getting me to 10k (it proves there's life in the old girl yet!) and to endorse the previous comments to anyone who's completed C25K and want to go to 10k - it's a great plan! Definitely hooked now. Who knows, I might even go for a HM next year?! Thanks again x
