Hi!
I've graduated C25K recently, and have now run 5x 5k runs so am almost ready to begin the B210K plan!
I have just signed up for a 10k race on Jan 27th, is it feasible to be able to get to 10k in the next 5 months? Does anyone have any advice?

Hi Becky. Simple answer - yes! The increase from 5k-10K is much quicker/easier than that to 5k (personally speaking). I did it in 5 weeks.
Welcome and good luck!
Hi Becky1606 as the mighty Ripcurlrana71 says, you can certainly get to 10k in that time, even an old codger like me got there in about 6 weeks, my advice is follow the plan but if on your long run and are feeling good stretch it a bit further, just be sensible about pace
Yeah go for it. Very doable. There is someone very kind enough to do a 10k plan on the bridge to 10k group.
Congratulation on completing C25K and on achieving the 5k. In the pinned post section you’ll find a structured running plan that goes from 5k to 10k in 8 weeks. Lots of people on here have followed it. (Look up posts from @ju-ju-). It’s a rolling programme currently on week 7 so I would expect it to start again soon.
Happy running.
Most people do it in 4-6 weeks so 5mths is plenty hehe. Follow jujus b210k plan. It is 8 weeks now as a few weeks are repeated it used to be 6.
That’s brilliant Becky. Good luck!
Hi Becky! You’ll have no problem getting to 10k. I followed the advice for after C25K and did 3 weeks of consolidation runs before upping my distance. Im not following a plan but I’m up to about 8k now. I graduated on 27th June. Good luck! 😀
Hi Simon! I think I will do another week of 5k consolidation and then move myself onto the 10k plan :D. That's amazing that you're up to 8k now - seems like a dream for me haha
