After completing c25k and a nasty hamstring tear that took me out of running for 3 months, I'm now back to running 30 mins & planning to run5k 3 times a week.
Any advise on building to 10k would be great! ๐ ๐โโ๏ธ

Welcome back from injury. ju-ju- plan to 10k is great. A supported group started a few weeks ago but you can start you can start any time. There are pinned posts showing what theyโve been up to over last few weeks. There are no podcasts itโs a paper based plan with 3runs a week either timed to 60 minutes or distance to 10k. It comprises a short medium and longer run each week.
Great you're back running, I think this will help and you can do the timed or the distance option. Good luck ๐
My advice is forget about 10K. Everyone finishing C25K is on a mission to go to 10K. Whatโs wrong with 5K?
There is parkrun. And with parkrun you can train with 5K twice during the week and do a parkrun on a Saturday morning. You can run for fun and run for speed.
Run for 8-10 weeks just doing 5K 3-4 times per week. Get used to 5K and then just pick one of your 3-4 runs per week and add 500 meters onto it. Thatโs it. Easy. After a few weeks youโll be at 10K.

Thanks, Damienair. Must admit 10k does seem daunting as I'm still getting back into regular running. Good advice, next park run I'm planning to attend is for International Women's week ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Yeah good on you. Go to a parkrun this weekend if you can. 29th of February, first ever parkrun on a leap year day. You might have to wait another 26 years to do another one.
Get used to 5K 3 x times per week for a few months. Then slowly work up to 10K if you want to. But donโt be under any pressure to do it either. 90% of my running after starting C25K 3 years ago is 5K. I only do 10K if Iโm training for a particular 10K race. And I only enter about 2 10K races per year.

So pleased to hear you are back running! I am joining the next Ju Ju plan in May & like you running 3x a week meantime. I will be doing couple of short 3 or 4K as fast as I can, & one slow 5K while I wait.
