I am on wk9 2 tomorrow and keen to have a plan to keep me motivated
I am a 66 grandmother and not run before although I am a walker. I hope I am not being too ambitious but thought I would work up to a 10 k run . I am lucky enough to be in good health.
Anyone out there my age done the same ? and able to offer advice and/ or share experience

Good luck for your graduation run GMa10, like you I go on long walks, especially during the winter months and cycle a lot during the summer. I started with C25K last April and graduated two months later in June, three weeks after my 72nd birthday. Since then I have ran 3/ 5k runs, my quickest pace being around 33 minutes, although today I went my first long walk of the season, a just over 12 Kilometre walk and according to Mapmyrun in walking mode used 17,000 steps.
After you graduate run 6/30 minute consolidation runs before continuing on with the B210K program, finally best wishes for your graduation 🎓 run 🏃 😊
Well done on your graduation. As Al says get consolidation in and get to the point where you are happy running 5k and then you could join juju’s magic plan . I’ve just finished it and it really works. Look up in pinned posts. 😎
Another vote for the Magic plan on the Bridge to 10k forum. If it worked for me it’ll work for anyone.
AlMorr has said it all. consolidation runs then ju-ju- 's 10k plan, which so many of us used, and which is huge fun and very well constructed. Congrats on your graduation. Lots of us older runners on here.
