Just starting

I’m just starting my 10km training for a run at the end of September. I’m walk running to begin with using zen labs and so far so great. I’ve really slowed my pace using a gearfit2. It keeps telling me to slow down! Any slower I’d be walking but I ran for 36 mins yesterday and did 3.5miles so I’m happy with that. Onwards and upwards

Is this the one where it ends up with jog for 60mins 10k achieved!

Hey - Yes this is the one. I used the 5k one for my first trip on C25K.... the 10K offers a similar training plan for week 10 onward, but returns to intervals. 4 x 10 mins, 1 min walk. Increasing each week until 60 mins non stop.

It does use the basic assumption that you are running a 30 minute 5k tho, which is problem for many (me included!!).

I opted for ju-ju- 's plan, which just build on distance over the weeks - seems to fit better for me - 7k this week! eek!

Yes I was going to say I don't like that assumption. I have done a 10k in under 1hr, but it's not often hehe

I can’t imagine ever doing it in an hour! I’m going for an hour and a half 😁

I know right!!! lol - I ran for 58 mins on Wednesday and did 7km. I slowed down to make sure I'd cover the distance... Speed can come later lol
