Completed Ju-ju's 10 is a Magic Number this morning with my second 10k ... thank goodness my first 10k a few weeks ago wasn't a fluke!
It was a good morning for a run, overcast, gentle breeze and 18 degrees. I chose the same route as my first 10k. Only one road to cross at a pedestrian crossing so no problem there, canal path, promenade park and a short distance of road/pavement. Plenty of variety to stop me getting bored ... at my speed I'm running for a long time!
Looking forward to some runs next week while we're away in Norfolk ... should be able to find some flat routes!
Thank you Ju-ju for your excellent plan, I intend to repeat it again soon. I'll do my own thing for a couple of weeks but I know I'll want to get back to some structure before long.
Good luck to any of you just starting out on Ju-ju's plan, stick with it, you'll soon be running 10k!
Happy running everyone!

Fantastic Wizziewood , just what I needed to hear....what a fantastic achievement....10k, who’d have thought it?! Amazing....inspirational & totally doable x
Yay! Well done!!! I'm always shocked at how far even 1k is. I seem to run forever between the 1k buzzes on my watch. On the other hand, once you get past the toxic whatever time it is for you (20+ minutes for me), it does feel as if you could keep going forever x
I know exactly what you mean. At the end of 1k I think blimey, I'm never going to run another 9k but somehow I plod on and after another hour plus I've done it!
... and as for the 'toxic 10' like you it seems to go on much longer!
Anyway, a few rest days now. I'm watching the Queens tennis this afternoon, I'm sure I can call that my rest day activity today!
I think Ive got to the stage where I know I will keep going, or that I can do the run, even if I feel like poo at the start - but it is a shock when you do what feels like a massively long run and then find it was only 6/7k. I want to push past my longest so far, which is 11k, but it’s finding places to run here that go beyond 10k but are less than 20k. I suppose I should run half the distance outward bound, then retrace my steps, but I hate doing that.
Ah, the tennis! I hope you have a tub of ice cream to accompany your “activity” 🍧🍦😈
