The Magic 10k plan

Being about to move into the third week of this, I was wondering about something.

My 5k time is not much under 40 minutes. I'm happy with the 3.5k, 4k and 5k distances but I suspect 7-10k are actually a bit beyond me at the moment.

That being the case, as this is an "either/or" plan, would doing runs 1 & 2 of each week by distance, and run 3 by time make sense? My logic being, once I can run for an hour, I can then work at increasing the distance I run in that time.

Thoughts?

Do what suits you. There was a probably a time in the not so distance past when you thought 30 minutes was a bit beyond you. You might surprise yourself.

It’s fine to be slow. I was slower than you but just did Ju-Ju’s B210k plan as it is. It just works, same as C25k does. It’s great! Good luck.
