Returning runner

My aim is to run Cardiff half October which I’m signed up to . I did do 10 k on New Year’s Eve just gone then for some reason I’ve been hit and miss not doing more than 5 or 6 k fortnightly do I start from scratch on ju ju plan anyone else’s experience be happy to hear on subject of repeating programme -I’m slow you see I did park run 37 mins on Saturday just passed.

i have just done 10k and hope to do another b4 the end of march.

i have my first (and only?) HM in september,i am going to make a chart/training plan for myself at the end of this month.(10-HM)

i do pr in 35ish.

i am sure it would be good to start on ju-ju plan as it is two 5k and a shorter run on w1?

maybe do w1 twice and take it from there?

since i started on my `long distance day a week` i have not improved my pr time but i am not concerned as i am in for the long one

Ju jus plan sounds like a good idea. It will get you back into the habit of 3 runs a week and slowly increase your distance. Dont feel bad about your 5k time. I aim for around that and currently am running between 8 and 11k 3 times a week. The slower speed let's me get the distance in.

Happy running 🤗

Thankyou am feeling less disheartened now that’s incredible your distance will aim three runs now

Getting into a habit is key. I go out alternate days whatever the weather varying distance on how I feel . Happy running 🤗
