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! πŸŒžπŸ™ƒπŸŒ»

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 😳😬. Your dream will come true πŸ™‚πŸŒ», relax, enjoy!

Thank you! At the moment 5k takes me just over 40 mins so mostly I’m running the programme by time. I have thrown in the odd longer run to get a bit of mileage in but I’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 🌺...we got off the couch, we're runners 🌞

Yes, the latest version (?versions) of ju-ju’s plan has timed alternatives, e.g. the long run this week for me could have been 39mins or 6k. It’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

I’ve got at 10k in April!! Would like the latest Ju-Ju plan, but can’t find it πŸ˜‚. Technology and me aren’t very good πŸ™‚. Good luck you’ll be ace!

Yay 😁 πŸ‘πŸ» 8k is fantastic! The last bit is a bit tiring isn’t it but so worth the feeling when you’ve completed it 😊😊

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.πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
