Time to start Ju-Ju's 10k plan...

[Becky1606]

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year!

I've decided that this week is the week I begin Ju-Ju's 10k plan, which should get me most of the way to 10k before my race on Feb 17th - or all of the way if i miss the repeat weeks.

With my asthma I really, really struggle running in cold weather (and I hate running in the dark after work), so I'll go outside when I can - definitely when the runs go upward of 7k! - , and complete at the gym when I can. I've hit 7k before but struggle to get past that distance, so I think I need to rebuild slowly from scratch.

So, with that, I'm going to finish my coffee and head to the gym for a 5.5k run, I'll report back later!

Brilliant Becky. You sound determined and I have no doubt in my mind at all that you’ll love the Magic 10 and smash 10k out the park!

Look forward to hearing all about your journey. I’ll be hopping on the Magic 10 again, so see you there! 👍🏃‍♀️💪

Good luck Becky...you will enjoy ticking those runs off and 10k here you come!😊xx

You’ll be absolutely fine. I’m not a fan of this cold weather either but forcing myself to get out. Only 10 weeks to go until my first half marathon!!

Look forward to hearing how you get on at the gym 😊 x

Yay, I saw that you did the 5.5....huge well done. As a fellow asthma sufferer I’m so with you. I really found it hard going on my run today. I find if I breathe through my buff for a bit it makes a difference as the warm air gets to the lungs, and always take your inhaler if you can.
