Ju-Ju’s 10K Plan ✅

[Ripcurlrana71]

I did it!! Up bright and early to beat the heat. Armed with my electrolyte drink and my running legs off to the beach I went.

There was no way I wasn’t going to do 10K today. The fabulous HoagyM was waiting at the B210K podium for me thought I’d better not keep him waiting!

Not much more to say apart from such a great plan ju-ju- . 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!

What next? Rest Run Repeat! 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Happy running everyone! Will wait for my fellow B210kers at the podium. Don’t blame me if I’m a bit sloshed when you get there! 🥂 xx

😳👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wowsers! Very well done. That was much quicker than I expected. How has it all been?

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

Thank you! Quicker than I expected too!! Faster progress than C25k. The extra 1k a week is very doable once 5k is comfortable for you to run. What’s great about this plan is it’s not about time just distance. 😊

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Going to start in August. Just need to consolidate these 5ks.

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

You’ll do great!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

You will enjoy it, many of us have done the plan a few times..to get us back up to speed after time on the IC It is brilliant!

[Tbae]

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Tbae]

Thank you Bob. I’m pretty pleased with myself! 😬😬💃🏽

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to F1ipperation]

Thanks! X

[BethMay]

Wow! That’s fantastic Rip. Whoop! Whoop! You and Hoagy are really inspirational. I’m taking the 10k plan more slowly but will be joining you by the end of the month! Half marathon next?! xxx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to BethMay]

Thanks Beth! Sticking to 10K (ish) and trying to nail that before my race in October. 😊 x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to BethMay]

Slow is just perfect.. and the way to stay injury free... you are doing just fine

[David_G]

Fantastic result, well done!!👍👍 I’m looking forward to completing B210K myself in a couple of months time with any luck 🤞🤞 Keep a place on the podium for me! 😀

It’s perfectly acceptable to be a little sloshed after such a great performance 🍾🥂😊

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Thanks David! I dont leave any of my running buddies behind, but maybe grab a bottle enroute incase we run our? 😊 x

[David_G in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Oh, I’ll grab a whole crate of bubbles on the last run! 🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂😀👍

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Woohoo!!!! You’re definetly part of my running crew! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 x

[O505k Graduate10]

Well done. Great achievement you deserve the celebrations. 🥂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to O505k]

Thank you O505k !

[O505k Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Fab location btw. I dream of running by the sea as I run around the streets of London.

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to O505k]

It is beautiful but I am still chewing on sand! 😂

[Lorijay Graduate10]

Huge congratulations Rip. absolutely over the moon for you!! You're a star.

You deserve to get sloshed, tonight I'll join you and raise my glass to you.

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Wow! Massive well done, Ripcurly! You have done this with such a great positive attitude throughout, too. You are my inspiration!

(I know it is about distance not time, but that is a great time too btw!)

Happy running!

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Aww thanks Sadie and you have inspired me too with your funny and honest posts! I know it’s not about time but really wanted to do it in 70mins. ☺️ Xx

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

😘 Save me a place on the podium, I will be sweating my way slowly there...😂 xx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

I will and mop and bucket!!😂😂😘

[pianoteacher Graduate10]

Well done you!!! Hope to see you on the podium in a couple of weeks. Going to try and get it done before the summer holidays arrive

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Thanks Marie! I’ll be there till the last runner comes in. 😘 x

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

That'll be me this morning 😂

[sallenson Graduate10]

Alka!! What can we say? You are magnificent!! Simply stunning... xxx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

😘😘😘

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

I have absolutely no idea how you've crashed through this tape so fast!! 4 weeks? Holy moly, Batman!! Alka is a Superhero!! Alka for President!! xxx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

Hey Stephen if I can you can. I’m doing nothing special I can assure you! The plan is flexible and manageable. You’ll smash it too. Xx

[LoungeLizaard Graduate10]

That’s simply fantastic..... it only seems like last week you were at 7k!! Blimey, that’s so fast (in weeks!).

Congratulations xoxox

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to LoungeLizaard]

I know!! Amazing how quickly our body adapts after C25k. Xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Very well done... you have done well.

I remember the euphoria of the first 10K well...sigh!

Plenty of stretching and make sure you massage those calf muscles... beach running has its cons as well as its pros x

Enjoy the party and try to save some champers for the others

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Oldfloss ! A fabulous achievement like graduating C25k all over again 😊. I’ll stretch whilst I party. 💃🏽 Definetly a few rest days before next run though. X

[Berksrover Graduate10]

👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾👩‍🎓👩‍🎓🏅Nuff said xx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Berksrover]

😘

[CitizenP]

Brilliant stuff - well done you 💪🏾

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to CitizenP]

Thank you!

[Saartjie Graduate10]

Wow Alka...doesn't seem five minutes since 5k! Massive well done xx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Saartjie]

I know!! C210k in 13weeks 😊 Thanks Sarah. xx

[Hidden]

Well done!!! And look at your time, brilliant. I've done several 10k + runs now and still can't come anywhere near your time. Brilliant collage too - love the 10k in the sand

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Flick! I am pleased with my run but definetly only possible on flat and in cool weather. xx

[Hidden in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

still a brilliant run xx

[Hidden]

That is absolutely fantastic! Way to smash it out of the park 💥

You will be sozzled by the time I get there as I'm on the slow bus. Having to slow things down as my right leg is fighting the plan! Had hoped to graduate before I go into surgery as I don't know when I'll be fit afterwards, but don't see that happening now.

Bloody good show Rip, you'll have to keep the side up for all of us 😘

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 💫🏆💫🏃‍♀️💫💞🍾🥂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you my lovely. xx What surgery??! 😯 xx

[Hidden in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

I'm having a parotidectomy on the 17th. Took me until Thursday at the pre-assessment to find out what it was called! I have a lump in my salivary gland so they're removing that along with part of the gland. Thought you were involved with the chat the other day, so apologies, didn't realise you didn't know.

Anyway, enough about me, this is your day! You are AMAZING!!!

Love ya 😘😘😘💕

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Oh gosh what a terrible friend I am!!! 😭 I’m sorry to hear that. Also sorry if I did and forgot completely!!! 😔

What’s the recovery time like in something like this?? Xxx

[Hidden in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Not sure and they just say "everyone's different"! I know they say no strenuous exercise for a week. Read a girl's diary post-op online and she was struggling to jog after 3 weeks 😭 But....everyone's different 😁

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Keeping everything crossed for you. You’re a tough cookie. xx

[limberlou Graduate10]

Well done you. Pretty good time too, although I expect you’ll soon get that down too. I can’t wait to get back to it...

One week done , 11 to go 😟. It’s worse than prison sentence, at least I’d be able to run there. 🤣🤣

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to limberlou]

Thanks Lou. I feel your pain must be so hard just waiting for the time to pass. You’re a natural though so won’t take you long to get back to fitness. You smashed 10K first! Xx

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Thanks- my daughter is down and is taking me out for lunch, sitting in the park, and a Hockins icecream ( best icecream ever).

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to limberlou]

Yum! 😬

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Wow well done! Brilliant work! I seriously need to get another 10k in 😳

🍾🍸🥂🍻🎓👌🏽

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you!! 😬😬😬

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Congratulations Ripcurlrana...fabulous acheivement. Its a long old run isn't it..and in these temperatures too!😊💪👏👏👏

Very Well Done😊xxx

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you Jan! Yes does seem to go on and on....😬 But what a feeling when you hit that magic 10 hey? I was out pretty early so just missed the baking sun. I can’t run very far in this heat. Xx

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

You can run far tho' mrs!😄😄😎xx

Enjoy your Weekend!

[HoagyM Graduate10]

Morning Rip 😀

Bit of a lie in this morning (got in at 1:00 last night after concert at Hyde Park), so slow to congratulate you. Sounds like another really lovely early morning run along the sea front, and no surprise of course that you smashed the 10k barrier!

Massive well done, it’s great to get to that milestone isn’t it - and I especially like the “10k” written in the sand 🥇🏃🏻‍♀️👏🍾🥂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to HoagyM]

Oh Hoagy a well deserved lay in too!! Huge achievement for both of us. I’m in great company. 💪🏼Xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

That is absolutely fantastic Ripcurlrana - this girl can. there is no catching up with you now. You really have been an inspiration to many and fully deserve to celebrate in style. Now don’t get too sloshed as you still have the footie to get through.

⛱🏖🏃‍♀️☀️👏🍾🥂⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 V 🇸🇪

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Awww thanks Dexy - but just doing my bit for the team. Now going to kick back and hopefully England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 will be celebrating too! X

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Brilliant! Well done you! Congratulations! 🍾🥂🎉🎉🎉🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ I think I may be trying to pretend I like the slow lane! Your fast lane is looking very attractive at the moment, but no, I shall stay here for quite a while yet. Very well done indeed! Delighted for you! 😊

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you 61! But I’m more middle lane than fast! 😬😬

[Pippayoungart]

That’s amazing! Sooo well done!😲👏🏼🏅😃

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Pippayoungart]

Thanks Pip! 😬😬

[mountaindreamer Graduate10]

Wow - congratulations!! 😃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉🎉🎉❤️ In just 4 weeks...I’m amazed and impressed! I’m still consolidating after C25k, but then hope to move to Juju’s Magic 10 plan - at a slower 8 week rate. 😎

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to mountaindreamer]

Thank you mountaindreamer ! It’s a great plan - you’ll do brilliantly!! 😊 x

[ejbee]

Wow! Well done! Seems like only a few weeks ago you finished the c25k👍🏻. Super impressed at your drive & determination! I hope to join you one day maybe but for now I’m continuing my struggle to consolidate the c25k😱

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to ejbee]

Thank you ejbee !! I’m rubbish without structure so set me a goal and I’ve got something to work towards! Consolidation is great! X
