Thanks juju, I really must motivate myself into doing more strength and cross training, it’s so important.

Had a great week last week, smashed my three runs, feeling faster and stronger all the time.

Bring it on 😁πŸ’ͺπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Good stuff.... I’d say start with something manageable then you are more likely to continue, and even small amounts can make a big difference...

Hi ju-ju- , thanks for all the tips.

I’m rather behind everyone else now, but my 5k Parkrun this morning was the start of my Week 1 of your 10k plan. Excited to be making a start! πŸ˜ƒ Planning the 5.5k run Monday, then the shorter recovery run Wed or Thursday. Haven’t decided on my mantra yet, but may just yell random things at myself to start with! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€οΈ

Going to keep my running friend happy and my state of readiness set at 10K during this period of hedgecutting/gardening.πŸ€”

So this means I will scale back and start a streaking run.πŸ‘

3.5k@8mins/km and 3k@10 mins/ km.alternate days. So approx 20-25 km/week.

I am well aware of the excellent advice for novice runners, but needs must, this is early morning quiet time, and perhaps evenings, before I can make a noise in the garden, and it is just out the gate, round the block and back and is snail paced stuff.

At least I can try it and modify it.

and I am trying to multi task.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Hope I remember to dress each morning, now that would be admission to the naughty club.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Go all you panther cubs.πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ†πŸ’₯

Better get this deleted before the boss gets back.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Good luck Sallenson you will be fine, you will be on a bonus for a repeat annual return.

Go for it nudge, nudge.πŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸ‘

Was frightened to read on in case the boss appeared in on an earlier train.

I wonder what the presentation ceremony would be like πŸ€” , very straight forward for the ladies, too many options for the lads.πŸ™ˆπŸ‘

Hi my friend you have got me thinking.πŸ€” Cannot remember what the boss has said.πŸ€”

Meantime carry on with what you are doing.πŸ‘

Well it’s alright for you young guys out there giving everyone a treat. Keep enjoying that and do not even think about what’s down the track.

Not a lot actually.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Enjoy yourself Stephen and great to see you back on your journey.πŸ‘

And it’s great you will carry on running during your mega hedge trim.... I’m guessing you have a large garden??

Tbae profile image
Tbaeβ€’ in reply toju-ju-

Well 200yds of hedge, and about half a rugby pitch.

Large enough, but running and this forum has more than prepared me for the challenge.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Hi, ju-ju-

First week completed for me. I found the increase from 5k to 5.5k fairly comfortable.

Can’t promise the same extending to 6k this coming week but I have faith in the programme (and stubbornness beats gremlins in mental rock, paper, scissors).

You'll do it. πŸ‘Œ

A week behind due to holidays but not sure whether to have a gentle week or press on. My knee was horrendous after I got in last night(fine in the run) and I struggled with certain movements where I froze with a sharp pain. Was thinking of just going for a short blast around the block to test it tomorrow and if okay but then perhaps do a week of 4/5ks instead. Still need to get myself some proper shoes too!

ju-ju- profile image
ju-ju-Graduate10β€’ in reply toCJDavies

Rest sounds like a good idea, and yes shoes may help too....

Still very much freestyling my way through with the help of your excellent plan ju-ju- Unable to stick to the exact numbers for one reason and another (mainly running club and wanting to run with my son :-) ) but hoping to run a non-stop 10k at some point in the future to claim my badge!

ju-ju- profile image
ju-ju-Graduate10β€’ in reply topianoteacher

Freestyle is cool, and often the best way. Rigid plans are often impossible to stick to....

pianoteacher profile image
pianoteacherGraduate10β€’ in reply toju-ju-

I agree! I'm just enjoying running so much and I can feel the improvements across everything from speed to stamina. I know I can run 10k because I've done it 3 times with the club now and everytime it's felt better (I would say easier but the cross country one was hard πŸ˜‚). Just got to find time to do it on my own so I it's non-stop - realistically that's probably going to be in September I would think but I'm in no rush anyway :-)

Hi ju-ju

I've graduated this morning! Set off for a 9k but my husband (coach) turned Strava to silent at 8.5k and so landed up a 10.4K in 1hr 8 mins. Half marathon in November here I come πŸ˜‰

Thanks for all the tips x

Boom indeed! :D I just ran the 5K of week 6 - by running our local Race for Life. I feel very grown up (if not terribly original) having completed my first ever race. Despite the heat, dust and congested start, I managed to run through the finish gate with a clock time of 29:46, only my second ever sub-30 minute 5K. I'm now considering finding a 10K event to enter - what me? yes me! Whatever happened?!!!! C25K and HealthUnlocked, that's what :D :D :D

ju-ju- how do you run in that jungle???? thanks for the advice, 3rd 10k run this Wednesday (a gentle 5k this morning as a weekend spent eating a little more than I should of)... let you know how it keeps going... then start to push onto 15k in a week or so (gradually obviously).. have a good week.

Hi Ju-Ju, could you add me to your happy band of wanderers please? πŸ˜€ I recognise a lot of my C25K chums in you list and I’d hate to miss out on all the fun. 😊 I’m on week 4 of your plan now and all is going well, touch wood 🀞🀞

Hi Ju ju Can you add me to your group

I didn't come on before to scared to fail but I have now reached 8K and am so happy.

I have said to my daughter that I have been wrong in thinking that I could never run further than the 5K that I have been running for 9 years.

I should have carried on

But hey here I am now

Would love to do a 10K road run

A bit slower (not surprise there...) as I only just completed week 1 today... will keep ploughing on!

I registered myself for a 10K race in September - this will certainly keep me motivated :)

Made it to my 10k this morning, kind of - I had to walk a few times towards the end! I still can't believe it when I check my watch and I've been steadily trotting along for over an hour, when I was struggling with 3 minute runs back in February. Thank you so much for this plan :)

Not what you're looking for?
