I did it! First 10k done βœ…πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Hi everyone, so this is my first post on the bridge 2 10k, but I have been lurking in the background and reading all your posts for a while.

So early this morning the sun was shining and there was nobody about, I decided today was the day to complete juju’s magic plan and you know what? I did it!!

It was windier than I expected but I loved every minute! It was just one of those good runs where everything felt right. If you’d have asked me in August when I started C25k if this would have been possible I would have laughed, but it just shows that anything is possible! Thanks to everyone on this forum for keeping me going and to Juju for the magic!!

Stay safe and happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Like you I was sceptical but also did 10k last night. Now wondering how to progress to keep the momentum going.

Happy running!

Congratulations Bubs1671 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ»

I know what you mean on the progression, I’m wondering the same. I’m thinking I will continue to run between 5 & 8k every other day (as long as we are allowed) and do a 10k every other week. What were your thoughts?

Bubs1671 profile image
Bubs1671Graduate10β€’ in reply toPotato1210

I was wondering whether to do 2 5k per week and a 10k. Thinking I could add an extra 1k to the long run every other week to get to a half marathon???

Potato1210 profile image
Potato1210Graduate10β€’ in reply toBubs1671

That sounds like a solid plan 😊 I have signed up for a HM in September but I am doubtful that it will go ahead to be honest. Do you have anything planned?
