Hi everybody!

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯THIS POST SHOULD CONTAIN THE INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED ABOUT JU-JU'S MAGIC RUNNING PLAN - I WILL ADD MORE AS WE GO ALONGπŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The latest post is here: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

You will be training together, over an 8 week period, aiming to run either...

10 km OR for 60 minutes!!! 😊😊😊

To start the Magic Plan you will need:

β˜… To be able to run 5 km and/or for 30 minutes quite confidently

β˜… Your running gear πŸ˜„

You will be running 3 times per week - two shorter runs plus a longer run which will increase in length each week.

We include a selection of STRENGTH EXERCISES to try - these are OPTIONAL but highly recommended!

You can join the plan at any stage, and take as long as you like to complete it!

We will post each Monday with support and encouragement for all you Magic Runners. And we'll have a lot of FUN! 😊😊😊

πŸ’₯ PRINTABLE versions of the plans are available HERE:

β˜… 10K: drive.google.com/file/d/13I...

β˜… 60 min: drive.google.com/file/d/1sh...

πŸ’₯ Here's the list of Magic Runners, to keep you to account πŸ˜„:

docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

β˜…β˜…I AM NOT SPECIFYING ON THE LIST WHICH PLAN YOU ARE FOLLOWING - THAT'S UP TO YOU!!!β˜…β˜…

πŸ’₯ 30-20-10 Intervals:

runnersworld.com/training/a...

πŸ’₯ roseabi's simple intervals:

- 5 minute jog

- 4 x [30 second fast intervals - with 3 minute recovery jogging between each interval]. Miss out the final recovery jog, and finish with another...

- 5 minute jog

πŸ’₯ Fartlek intervals:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek

πŸ’₯ C25K+ SPEED podcast - a lot of people like using this simple intervals routine:

nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/c...

πŸ’₯ INTERVALS TIMER APPS:

β˜… Jog Run Sprint: jogrunsprint.com/ (iOS only)

β˜… OR search in your app store for "interval timer" "tabata" etc.

πŸ’₯ HILL RUNNING:

Beginner hill repeats:

- One or two 8-second sprints up a hill with a 6 to 8% gradient

- Walk back down the hill and wait until you feel fully recovered before going up again

- Increase the number and/or length of intervals as you feel ready

And here's a word from Ju-Ju, the founder of the Magic Plan

By the way, Ju is fine, she has had to take an extended break from Health Unlocked for work reasons, but you can catch up with her on Facebook in the Beyond C25K group: facebook.com/groups/BeyondC...

youtu.be/M_cQhHHHwdo

NB the date she gives is of course wrong, and she doesn't mention the 60-minute plan - but we ARE doing it! 😊

Welcome! xx

Dimi3is profile image
Dimi3isβ€’ in reply toroseabi

What is the suggested speed, tempo or heart rate for the 3 runs? I suppose that the smallest one could be intervals like c25k+ speed, the longest a long run in 65-70% hrm and the 30 minutes run a stepping stone or stamina tempo?

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toDimi3is

Yes, that's the way many people do it. The longest run should be at an easy, conversational pace, the medium one is often done at parkrun, and we will be talking about intervals runs as we go along. xx

Dimi3is profile image
Dimi3isβ€’ in reply toroseabi

Parkrun = c25k+ stamina ?

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toDimi3is

Not sure what you mean?

Do you know about parkrun? Here's a link: parkrun.com/

If you were to use a podcast during parkrun you would have to wear headphones, which could detract somewhat from the experience, and make you less aware of the people around you - which could be hazardous. But many people find that running with a group like parkrun helps them to push themselves a little more than they would alone, so perhaps no podcast is needed 😊

Hi. I’d like to run 10K please.

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply to

You can do it! Added xx

β€’ in reply toroseabi

Would it be easier to do the time to

begin with rather than the distance? I will only be 2 weeks post C25K and my Parkrun was just under 36 mins.

I have madly signed up for the Winchester 10K at the end of Feb and that’s quite hilly. Anyway I will worry about the hills once I can run the distance!!!

sTrongFuse profile image
sTrongFuseGraduate10β€’ in reply to

Hi Hidden , a lot of us start on one, then switch to the other. I followed the time plan to get up to an hour. I was running 8k in that time. I consolidated 8k for 2 weeks, then went back to week 6 (I think) and followed the distance plan to get me up to 10k (I typically manage in about 1 hour 15.

Just do what works for you.

β€’ in reply tosTrongFuse

Thanks that’s really helpful. Without the app telling you how long you have run for at intervals, what do you use?

sTrongFuse profile image
sTrongFuseGraduate10β€’ in reply to

I have a Garmin vivoactive3 watch which alerts me when I've run 1k. I've also set pace alerts so that it lets me know if I'm going too fast. It automatically syncs with strava so I can get all geeky and analyse my stats afterwards.

If you don't have a watch/fitbit/tracker, there are various GPS enabled running apps you can download to your phone, Strava, Nike Running Club, Map My Run are a few that come to mind. I'm sure there are folk on here who could tell you how you get them to notify you of distance/time etc.

If you are only doing the time version of the plan, and aren't worried about the distance, set the countdown timer on your phone (or watch if it has it) to the desired duration and just keep running until it goes off.

β€’ in reply tosTrongFuse

Thanks. I use map my run but didn’t know it could be set up to notify me. I will take a look. I am only using the free version at the moment.

sTrongFuse profile image
sTrongFuseGraduate10β€’ in reply to

I'll confess, I'm not an expert on the app side, which is the reason I treated myself to the watch earlier in the year, but I'm sure if you ask in the forum, someone will be able to give you tips and pointers.

One of the great things about this plan, daz.. Is that you can make it work for you. So if you would like to start the plan at week 3 or 4 that's fine. Let's us know how it's going and we'll support you through it. Oh... and celebrate when you get to 10k!

Did my first 10k this morning πŸ₯³ 10.03 in 1.02:37. Sort of followed the plan before I saw it with weekly runs of 6,7 & 8 k with rest days - last run was 6.85 on Thursday and now my first 10k xxx. Will be using the plan (hopefully ok) for the next few weeks before trying a 10k event 😁

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toGuy_M

Wow, well done! I will give you your 10K badge 😊😊😊

I suggest you repeat week 8 of the plan over the next few weeks, rather than following the plan. You might also like to try running further than 10K at some point - this will give you a confidence boost for your 10K event. And look out for our discussions about intervals running and strength work xx

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toLUHAN

Hi! It is not a problem, but you should do all the runs - just over a longer period. You will take a little longer to finish the plan; if you are doing two runs per week (for example) you will take 12 weeks to complete it.

You can still join in the discussions every Monday, and you will finish the plan with the next group, which will start in November - sound OK to you?

Anyway, I've added you to the list - welcome to the Magic Plan! xxx

Thank you Roseabi, I am not running confidently for 30 minutes 3 times a week just yet. I am building on that at the moment.

Hi, can’t wait to start the magic plan, but just wondering if there’s a one-stop-shop for the strength exercises? I don’t know how to do planks, nor even what eccentric heel drops are. It’d be great if an explanation of each was available in an easily-accessible format. Someone posted the NHS warm-up and cool-down exercises and they have revolutionised my running.

Thanks in advance, and see you all on Monday.

Love Lizz

I'm not sure "want to" is the right term, but since completing this in July, "compelled to" seems more accurate, and 10k has become my default minimum for a longer run...

What have you done to me?

Ricochet1 profile image

Hi, I've recently done C25K and feel a bit lost without a plan! So just been running for 30 mins when I can.

Can I join and do the time plan? What do you suggest on the 15/20 min run? Just go as fast as I can? Bit surprised to see this. Does this help in another way? Thought they'd all be longer runs or am I being a bit thick?!

roseabi profile image
roseabiβ€’ in reply toRicochet1

Hi! I've added you to the list - welcome to the Magic Plan!!!

Yes, a lot of people use the short run to try a bit of intervals training - we will talk about it in upcoming posts. The idea of having different length runs is:

1. To introduce you to a "proper" running training plan, with different types of runs (such as the intervals sessions mentioned above)

2. The idea is to increase one long run gradually over the period of training. We like to keep the weekly increase in distance or time low, to help avoid injury, so the shorter runs help to build/maintain a strong foundation as the long run increases.

Please don't say you are "thick", and feel free to ask questions xxx

MelwynD profile image
MelwynDβ€’ in reply toroseabi

Good to know the shorter runs are for intervals. I can manage only 1 interval in the longer run. I'm already in week 2 due to an upcoming 10K.

Ricochet1 profile image

Also can I switch runs around? Or should I stick to shirt, 30 mins, then longer run? Questions questions!

The runs can be done in any order each week.

Hi,

I’m going to give this a go, I’ve heard good things about it! I did C25K then joined a local running group who are great and really supportive and I’m out 2-3 times a week with them, done a few Park runs etc. I’m disappointed with my progress though I don’t seem to be improving :( I know it’s not all about speed but still the slowest of the group & need to walk quite often so I’m hoping this might help me improve and get a 10k in the bag later this year 🀞🏻

Hi! I'm looking forward to starting this. Didn't get out this morning like I'd hoped to, my arm is still spasming, although the shoulder muscles are much better. My next opportunity will be Thursday after work, hopefully it'll be a little cooler than the recent afternoons so I can do a nice long one. Or maybe as I haven't been out for a while I'll start with a short 2.5k... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ either way I'm really looking forward to getting back out!
