So that's week 4 of the Magic 10k or is it Bridge 2 10k? Anyway, whatever...did 8k and I'm really pleased. Actually I'm quite surprised, been struggling recently...but I did it, yippee! ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŒป

Congratulations! I am in awe: in week 2 and largely doing it by time with the odd longer run thrown in so to be doing 8k is honestly a dream for me!

Honestly Molly like C25K each week we do a little bit more...and that's just what you are doing now. So by the end of week 4, you'll do it too...so don't put yourself down. I quite surprised myself actually, wanted to stop at 6K, so had to give myself a severe talking to ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Your dream will come true ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŒป, relax, enjoy!

Thank you! At the moment 5k takes me just over 40 mins so mostly Iโ€™m running the programme by time. I have thrown in the odd longer run to get a bit of mileage in but Iโ€™m being careful

Yup 5 k takes me more than 40 mins and that's o.k. I think you are doing a more recent programme than me, but I guess we all end up the same by the end. Time, distance it's all o.k., as Fabulous 450 says, every step a win ๐ŸŒบ...we got off the couch, we're runners ๐ŸŒž

Yes, the latest version (?versions) of ju-juโ€™s plan has timed alternatives, e.g. the long run this week for me could have been 39mins or 6k. Itโ€™ll all work out, it will just take me longer (both to get to 10k and to run it!). I have entered a 10k in June so plenty of time

Iโ€™ve got at 10k in April!! Would like the latest Ju-Ju plan, but canโ€™t find it ๐Ÿ˜‚. Technology and me arenโ€™t very good ๐Ÿ™‚. Good luck youโ€™ll be ace!

Famous last words, but I thought that the last few runs in Ju-Ju's plan felt easier. The combination of 4k and then 5k every week followed by the long run (repeating the 8k and 9k weeks before the assault on 10) was a bit like the last couple of weeks of C25k.....I just knew I that I was going to do it and it relaxed me. Nearly there Gran4z.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
