Juju's magic 10 - it's official

[Jogunlikely]

I've started! Yay. I am officially building up to run for an hour 😱😬🤯

That freaks me out a little but so did the thought of running for 3 minutes let alone 30.

The plankety planks were the toughest bit 😊 as I just did the 15 min run today. Get out and back before another deluge ☔

The normal plank and right side were a struggle but the left I did with relative ease 🤔 need to work to even that up.

Downloaded an interval timer app to help with these post run workouts. The woman on there is very scary so I will def do as she says!

Happy running folks xxx

Talking about planks, there are three I do over the week with YouTube videos, The Perfect 3 minute plank workout, the 7 minute plank challenge and the 5 minute workout that replaces high-intensity cardio.

I downloaded a planks app : )

Brave!

[backintime Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

Now I just have to use it : )

It promises me I will be an expert in just a few minutes a day😅

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10]

Me too ! Exciting isn’t it....not sure I’m loving the planks but a cushion is helping my elbows or I feel like I’m going to go through the floorboards 🤣 (or shaking like an earthquake)

Good luck with your next run !

Not been brave enough to try the side planks yet so well done you! 😁

[Jogunlikely in reply to SeeJillRun]

Next time 😊 what's the worst that can happen? Doesnt matter if we only start with 3 seconds or 30 seconds, its about building a stronger us, just like c25k did 😊😊 Right side I had to do modified ie knees on floor but left side was a complete surprise. Probably a fluke! 🤣

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

That’s very true, might give them a try later. Definitely need to look at the modified ones 😂😂

Great job. 30 to 60 is easier than 0 to 30... enjoy your journey. Well done on the planks... they’re really going to help with core stability and thus aches and pains.

[Jogunlikely in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks x getting to 30 mins feels a mental struggle at the mo. Will be have many sessions with coach bennet I think.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

He will get you there for sure... think he’s on everything from 35 minutes to 10 miles 🤣. His 10k run is absolutely amazing, and delivers a couple of surprises... whatever it is he has he should bottle and sell.

Whoo, whoo - fantastic, well done! You will get to 60 minutes, no problem, just steady, steady.....

Planks, mmmm they are hard work and side ones!! 😬 Keep up the good work 👍

[Jogunlikely in reply to skysue16]

Funny isn't it the different exercises people like/dislike. I don't mind side plank, it's the normal one I dislike intensely 😄

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

I know planks are working my muscles and doing me good but still find it hard to make myself do them!

[Katnap Graduate10]

No problem! You'll ace it!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Well done JU! You’re on the road to 10k now and you will do it! Word of warning - the Magic 10 is addictive. I did it 4 times I think! 😅😅

[sTrongFuse Graduate10]

I've reached the hour mark this week, achieving 8k in the process, so now I've gone back to week 5 and am following the distance version for the next few weeks to build up to the 10k mark.

Great achievement so far, hope the rest of it works for you too.
