10k here I come

[Katiepops]

Lots of analysis of my last run. Disastrous though it seemed to me, the support team claimed I looked capable of more at the end. So tomorrow I embark on Ju-ju’s plan for 10k. Nervous isn’t the word, maybe excited is?! 😊

[Tbae]

Excited is good.

Nerves just bring tension into your running.So another good your not.👍

Pleased you are on the Panther cub journey.💥🏃‍♀️💥

Take good care of you.👏👏

You'll be fine ... before you know it the eight weeks will have passed and you'll be running 10k!

Enjoy your run tomorrow and good luck for the rest of the 10k plan.

Keep well hydrated, keep cool and keep running!

[Katiepops Graduate10 in reply to Wizziewood]

Stay cool? I can’t even manage that sitting down in the shade at the moment! Early mornings and vet late evenings at the moment. 😂

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Be excited! This plan is so manageable. In many ways, easier than C25K, I think. It took me 6 months to pluck up the courage, now I wish I had taken it on earlier, as I am loving the longer runs!

[Katiepops Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Longer distances - Never thought I’d agree. Sometimes I dread the start, but then as soon as I get going.....🏃‍♀️😊

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Katiepops]

And Sadie-runs is an amazing runner! Listen to what she says. 😊 Xx

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Aw shucks, Ripcurly, coming from you this means a lot! 😘

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

😘

[Berksrover Graduate10]

Follow the plan Katiepops keep to the rules, don't end up on the naughty step 😉, like Sadie-runs says, the slow and steady longer runs are really enjoyable

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to Berksrover]

Like naughty Berksrover ....🙄😜

[David_G]

Good luck Katie, just follow the programme and you’ll be fine. 🙂 Remember the mantra from C25K- slow and steady. You won’t go far wrong. 😊

[Empem Graduate10]

Welcome to the mad house! No really , running is one of the most sensible and exciting things I've done in years.If you've done C25k you will just be fine and dandy.I'm a plodder but loving it.Trying to get stronger.I'm in week 3.x

[sallenson Graduate10]

Hooray!! I'm glad someone else is jumping on the bus!! I was starting to feel a bit lonely and all those sixth-formers have gazelled off into the distance somewhere

[Katiepops Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10]

Woohoo!! Fantastic plan and sure you’ll love it! Good luck. 😊

[misswobble Graduate10]

Deffo exciting. No need for speed, no pressure Just enjoy yourself You’ll be fine. You’re in good hands 👍

[Katiepops Graduate10]

OK ignore that. I’m starting the plan tomorrow now! Got asked to help out a friend on putting some pace in. Remembering a conversation with Sallenson about Laura and the c25k+ podcasts we set out to the irritating beat for 30 minutes. Smashed PBs big time, but feel a bit tired leggy today, so assault on 10k starts tomorrow. 😉😘 Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I love this site!
