I feel like Iโ€™ve still got one foot each side of the bridge at the moment, while I consolidate after C25k. Am a bit confused which side is best to post on for now, so thought Iโ€™d just say a quick hi on this side! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Š

W11R2 (onwards from C25k numbering...) for me this morning was my 2nd Parkrun. Managed a PB with 28mins 38secs, though realised Iโ€™d set off far too quickly when my Runkeeper app gave 4.40 min/km for the first 0.5k!! (Iโ€™m normally around 6 min/k, but got a bit swept up in enthusiasm at the start, after we decided not to start at the back this week!)

Hope to move onto ju-ju- โ€˜s Magic 10 plan in a few weeks, after getting more miles on my legs. Will be expecting to slow down a lot to make the longer distances, though.

Happy Running everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Žโค๏ธ

Hi! Iโ€™m in the same boat. Iโ€™m making most of my posts there where it seems more generally useful and keeping the โ€œOMG, 10k?!?โ€ stuff for in here!

Hi this side Jay!๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

I thought that too, but noticed some people posting over here at our point.

Am just a bit paranoid about upsetting people aiming for 5k still by posting about distance or times, but kind of want to post somewhere to affirm to myself that Iโ€™m continuing... I guess failing that then Iโ€™ll just not post until starting Jujus Magic 10 plan.

Yeah Iโ€™m not posting detailed stuff anymore. On reflection itโ€™s just for me.

So fast! Youโ€™re definitely ready for bridging!

Thanks Tasha99 - think it helps that our Parkrun is pretty flat and run on tarmac paths/ roads! Iโ€™m not really built for speed, though, so am looking forward to upping distances instead. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's getting pretty crowded here on the bridge. Sometimes I get to recognise all the faces. Now and again we get a new boy or girl, then they disappear - maybe over the horizon. Last week one fell in. Anyway I'm still doing my 5 (you know what I mean), three times a week and leaving a towel over my place here. Not as good as moving on, but sure as hell better than quitting.

5k 3 times a week is brilliant, whether you decide to move on or not, Couch2couch! I think weโ€™re welcome to sit here on the bridge for as long as we want. Iโ€™m going to try moving to 10k later, but if that doesnโ€™t workout then Iโ€™ll be content keeping up my 5s. Thatโ€™s certainly much better than quitting. Enjoy your runs! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
