Hi all!

Roseabi here, standing in for the lovely Ju-Ju, who as many of you know is currently working hard on a very cool new challenge at work!

I must apologise for missing a post last week, and I just hope I've got my sums right because I believe you are now just starting...

THE FINAL WEEK OF THE MAGIC 10 10K PLAN!!!! 😊😊😊

How have you all been doing? I see that some of you have already hit 10k, well done!!!

This week's runs are:

β˜… 4 km

β˜… 5 km

β˜… 10 km - congratulations!!!

Or if you're running timed runs:

β˜… 20 mins

β˜… 30 mins

β˜… 60 mins - congratulations!!!

Last week your strength workout was a 'Balance Bonanza', so I thought I would re-post the final video from the previous Magic 10, where Ju-Ju talks about balance:

And since it's a Christmas video there are some nice colourful lights in there, which go rather nicely with THIS week's workout/celebration: BOOGIE!!!!!

youtu.be/5S6_vOFTRPs

I suggest you put on your favourite sounds, get down, and party! 😊😊😊

I hope you all have a GOOD TIME running this week!

Happy panthering,

roseabi (and ju-ju-) xx

Hi roseabi and ju-ju

Going to start Week 8 on Sunday. Completed Week 7 today after a 10-day gap since last run. Man, that 9K was hard! But I completed it, and am looking forward (I think πŸ™„πŸ˜¬) to Week 8.

Hope everyone is enjoying their running. Thanks for the Magic 10 programme - it's really helped me to achieve some longer distances. πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Hi Roseabi and Ju-Ju, I’m going to do the 9k for the first time next week! It was going to be yesterday but I am going to do my first park run on Saturday and want my legs to feel a bit β€œfresher” than I think they will feel after doing 9k 😁😁

Hi Roseabi final week starts tomorrow for me. Planning to do the 60 minutes on Wednesday. Long way off actually doing 10k but that’s the next challenge. Thank you for keeping us motivated. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜Š

Hi roseabi and ju-ju. After doing the 2 x 8k weeks I have fallen a little behind. I was feeling tired on the longer runs, then found out my ferritin had dropped to a rather pitiful 4. So I took a weeks rest, have had some intravenous iron and have been out today for a little jogette. Am going to build back up now. I’ll cross the bridge later than planned, but I’ll get there πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Completing week 8 tomorrow with the Two Tunnels 10K in Bath. I have done 10K twice - on the 9K runs (I got carried away!) - so very excited for tomorrow.

Magic 10 has been brilliant - I never would have thought I'd be running a 10K when I started C25K back in October.

The plan works!

Did my first 10k yesterday which was a bit naughty as it was my last run of week 7 not 8.

Really loving this plan and very happy to have finally got to 10k :) ,after failed previous attempts using apps etc.

Thank you. Any tips on this week for running. Do I do any or rest up for Sunday?

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toMotiv8me1978

You'll want to take it a bit easier this week, and definitely take Saturday off! Most people find it helpful to do a couple of easy runs in the last few days before a race - keeps the legs moving 😊

I actually really enjoy the long runs now I just didn't have time this weekend due to 3 kids birthday party's! I managed a muddy 7k this morning but hopefully will get in a 2nd 10k some time this week:)

THREE kids parties??? Eek! 😊

Well done, and I love that you're enjoying your long runs, that's what we like to see!! All the best for 10k #2 xxx

Hi Roseabi

I’m behind with the plan, had a few weeks off being unwell but back running now. I can’t find the balance exercises, can you help?

Thanks

I am so way behind I shall have to start again with the next one!

I strained my calf doing the Christmas Day parkrun and have only just got back into the trainers. As I felt totally lacking in confidence I re-started very slowly by using one run from each week of C25k, and am so pleased to be able to report that today I felt able to, and actually did 4.9k, although it was quite slow, but with no walk breaks. And I did it, so I’ll do another couple and then jump back onto the JuJu plan when next launched. (I had made a New Years resolution to do a sub 35 minute parkrun. Still a way to go, but I do have 10 months left still!)

So sorry to hear you've been struggling - sounds like you're well and truly back at it now though, well done!! xx

I will be with you too, on the next round, as I had to abandon the Magic plan some 4 weeks ago due to a damaged ligament in my knee.

I was crying with pain when it happened, and I now see my soul was also hurting with the frustration of having to interrupt my challenge, but hey-ho. Better let it heal well as a bit of patience now, seems to be the best investment for the days ahead.

Did my 10K last night. Had a bit of a fumbled start as became entangled with some people walking dogs on long leads as soon as I hit the pavement :D

Faster than last time around and I hope this has set me up nicely for the St Pat's 10K next week. I hope the weather is better by then!

Good luck to everyone else finishing up too!!!

Hello Roseabi, I completed W5R3 before going down with a lowsy cold and then flew off on a skiing trip. So I hadn’t run for over 3 weeks before I ran my parkrun this morning.

I’m not sure what distance I will achieve on Monday but if I run with the wind behind me it will improve my chances. Maybe UpTheStanley can follow me on his bike and then give me a Croggy back home. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ 🚴

A croggy πŸ˜‚ Not heard that one before!

Sorry to hear you've been badly xxx

Good luck 😊😊😊

It must be a West Country term for giving a ride on your bike. Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Robert Redford doing the cycling and was it Ali McGraw having the lift? Sadly, UTS and I wouldn’t look quite so glam!

Hello roseabi and fellow runners,

Week 6 will be completed today with a 4K dash along the prom.

I’m going to skip W7 and the 2nd 9k as my 10k race is next Tuesday.

Come to think of it, I accidentally missed it last time I did b210k too 🀭

Happy Easter everyone, lots of running to be done so you can eat chocolate 🐣πŸ₯πŸ‡
