Let’s run 10k... week 1 of the 10 is the Magic Number 10k plan 😺

I’m going to jump in at week 3. Is it cheating to walk for a minute occasionally on the longer runs?

Yay! Did my first run today - a little over 2.5k as I hadn’t planned my route properly! Looking forward to the rest of the week 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Enjoy your favourite place Ju Ju.👍👏👏

Thanks to you and Roseabi for 10 the magic number the 10K plan and all the hints, tips and advice.👍👏👏

Good luck to all your Panther cubs.💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🐆💥

So excited to be starting on this! Run 1 tomorrow - gonna be a parkrun so hoping to get W1 5K under my belt

p.s. if anyone else is on Strava, would love to follow you! This is me!

On the way Ju and Rose...2.5 done..I sneaked it in a day or so early..so I could get the 5K in on Sunday...consultant appt next Thursday..(unless it gets cancelled...again)..

Pleasant relaxed run...not speedy but enjoyable 😊

First 5k done 😁. Was a bit of a bumpy run, as there’d been horse endurance trails through the woods. This was the first run I’ve logged without adding my warm up and cool down walks👍🏼.

Lovely views Ju-Ju 😊

I did a slowish, relaxed 5km and enjoyed it. I'm on Week 5 but as I'm only going up by .5km per week and sometimes take a few rest days, I guess I'll finish with you all. It was windy and almost dark at 7pm when I finished so I'm glad I wore my high-vis vest. I also tried out my first pair of capris. I'm in love with lycra

Yay, how lovely to be in Cornwall.My childhood patch is up in the SE of the county.

Off we go....

Finished week 4 this morning, and after reviewing options I’m hoping to skip the repeat week and move up to 9k on Monday. Sadly no Parkrun tomorrow, as we’re away for the weekend. I just realised this didn’t mess my week’s 3 runs up at all, though - next week’s 5k will simply be at the end of the week instead of at the beginning! 😃

Happy Running week everyone! 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️

Did my 2.5k this evening and pushed myself a bit as it felt quite short compared to my usual runs, then I realised that it's great to even think 2.5 is short!!

thankyou on a rest day today but shall start tomorrow

Hi Ju-Ju. can you add me to the list.

I have the Great Scottish Run (10k) coming up in 6 weeks. Is it possible to fast track the plan. What alterations would you make?

I’ve felt like my running has stalled. I finished C25K and then did a 5k race for life and have been running but feel like I needed a new goal so on a whim signed up for the 10k, but it’s only six weeks away. Eeeek. So excited for a new challenge!!

Thanks for all the encouragement I have appreciated this forum group.

Did week 3 run 3 yesterday. Really enjoying this 😀🏃🏻‍♂️

Decided to come in at w2r3 and wasn't sure how it would go, so,over the moon that although trying to keep a slow and steady pace, I not only managed the 6k but also got a pb on my 5k mark!

Just did the wk4 8k. Felt so good! Hope the rest go as well 😊

Hi! Do I join this by simply leaving my name here...? I really need to up my game!

Just what I needed. Finished my wk9

R 3 today. I think after a couple days rest I shall continue x

Sign me up. Have just had my first run for a fortnight as we had night time lows of 27 degrees on holiday (I didn’t even bother to pack my running gear). Sorely in need of motivation 🏃🏻‍♀️

I graduated couch to 5k yesterday morning, and am looking forward to starting the 5k to 10k programme tomorrow (weeks 4 to 8 look very scary!)

Did the W1R3 today, my first ever 5.5k . Feeling very pleased with myself.

No short run Sunday.🤔

Nothing to do with 10 the magic number, but what constitutes a broken streak.🤔

Presumably a 24 hour missed day.🤔

If so will restart a new streak.

Got a personal MOT on Thursday and been asked to lead our informal Park session on Friday in the absence of our formal Coach.

Atb to all panther cubs.💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🐆💥

Still here trailing on from the last round of your fab plan - managed my second 9K yesterday, nudging up to 9.2 in fact! It was a lovely run, but I am really starting to feel it near the end, just above my ankle starts to ache and today my thighs are complaining!

My next plan will be to find new shoes, this is going to be a challenge!

Good luck to all the new starters on the magic bridge!

I'll be doing Run 1 tonight 😁

Just finished week 5 of the previous cycle of the programme - trust me to be awkward with my timings - but will carry on with this cycle. 10K race planned for September the 16th for a triumphant finish to the plan (Chariots of fire soundtrack please....)

Haha, I read what week 1 was a while ago and ran what I thought was right this morning but did 6k, will print out your sheet now and join in properly, really want to get to the end! So slow, btw but have at least broken the 5k mental block 😎

I would like to join this if I'm not too late! I will start on week 4 as have already got up to 7k. Tomorrow I'm running with a local running group - Hello to anyone from Hastings Runners! - and hope to get up to 8k with them.

OK, so I ran my first 5K on Sunday. I will count that as one of the Week 1 runs, and hopefully complete the 5.5K on Friday afternoon or Saturday. Tonight, it's the 2.5K. Looking forward to it!

My mantra: "Do or do not. There is no try." Master Yoda. It's what I say to other people, so I'll have to live by it won't I!

Started week 4 this morning - thought I'd go straight for the 8k run which is completely unknown territory for me. Wow it was tough! Will do the 4K on Thursday and then the 5k at parkrun.

Hi juju count me in please I’m probably hopping in at around week 2. Do I need to record my progress anywhere- or just record it for me..... it might take me more than the weeks outlines due to holiday is that ok? Do I just let

You know when I’ve completed all of the challenges? Looking forward to giving this a go!! Thanks 😊🏎

This looks great can I join in??

Just to say that I have started at week 1, actually did the 5.5Km run today. Running them in the order: short/intervals, Long, Middle, as it fits my life best.

So you can add me to the list please. I know I will be a couple of weeks behind. Can't be helped.

Now done two of the runs, still need the intervals, but I love doing those

I find that if I don't get out and run three times a week my times when I do get out are rubbish. Now that the hot weather seems to have moved on I am really hoping I can run more regularly and feel speedier

Hi I’ve been a bit slack at joining in! At the moment I run 5k three times a week. What week do you think I should join in on?

Hello ju ju / roseabi I would like to go for this now if it’s not too late to join. please add me 😊

Would like to join but a bit intimidated. Have only run a 5K distance three times so far.

Hello Ju-Ju- and roseabi, Dexy5 here. After much dilly dallying I would like to join your magic plan. I have just done the 5k (at Parkrun) and 5.5k (today) . What have I done? 😱

Wk1 2.5k run complete! Only problem was I set off too quickly thinking ‘it is a short run so I can go quicker than usual’. Consequently, I really struggled to get to the end!! Learned a lot from that...I ran a whole minute per kilometre quicker than I usually do tho 😅😅...here’s to the next one !

W2R1 complete. Constant disruptions at the moment stopping me from running on my usual days... a beautiful morning here, the hedgerows bursting with hips and haws. Hope everyone else running this morning is also enjoying themselves mightily 😊🏃🏻‍♀️🍃

Could you add me to the list please.

👋🏻 hello....I’m still here!! 🙄 xx

Hi i am going to start the plan tomorrow can you add me to the list please.

Thanks for Welcoming me to the plan, will start tomorrow, it's nice to have a challenge i Will let you know how I get on.

Hi all, I’m sort-of following this - not always running 3x/week but trying to extend my runs.

W2R3 completed in a sort of murk this morning. Nearly collided with a peacock and then a cyclist who really wasn’t going to stop (he shouted “thanks” as I jumped into the nettles). Surprised the local ecologist, out with his dog and a ton of paraphernalia; people don’t recognise me as they aren’t expecting a running version. On the other hand those that do recognise me because they’re also out running are now turning into a sort of secret society. They sidle up furtively at social events and surreptitiously discuss routes and times. Sooner or later I’ll be sucked into Parkrun which has never seemed very appealing.

Anyhow that’s enough wittering, I need to do some work. Happy running everyone 😊🏃🏻‍♀️🦆(Lack of peacock emoji)

Thanks roseabi, I can never find anything on the forum.

I really like running alone, when it becomes another meditation. Being alone is also why I have lots of near misses with muntjac/herons etc! Running with an enormous noisy herd of others is a bit off-putting. I will try it eventually as I have a pile of friends who love our local version.

Joining in challenge at eeek 1 having completed c25k

Hi, just on week 2 of consolidation now following C25K graduation. Am planning on another couple of weeks of the podcasts. When is the next ‘10 is the magic number’ plan due to start?

I recently completed C25k which had 5 minutes of walking at the beginning and end. Do you recommend still doing this with the specified distances for this programme in between the walks?

Thanks for this plan, I'm going to give it a go! Do we have to wait for the start of a new cycle or can I make a start on my own?
