Just did 10km this a.m.

[Silverfox1943]

Well I eventually did the juju plan 10km.

First did the 8 weeks 60 mins time, then I planned to build myself up to do 10k. Now 2 weeks later have done it nice and easy, having to push a couple of times as it was quite humid.

Now tired but over the moon. I suppose not bad for 77.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Not bad - I'd say brilliant. Great time for you, be very proud and celebrate. Happy running 🤗

Fantastic, such a brilliant achievement, well done. Your first 10k is such a special feeling isn't it.

Enjoy the rest of your day and celebrate well, you deserve it 🏅👍🏃‍♂️🎉🎊🍾🥂🍻

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Thanks I will. Don't know about another 10k but you never know.

[Roxdog Graduate10]

That's brilliant! My son (27) who runs, said he saw 'two old guys' running like they were marathon runners this morning! 😂 Respect from this 60 year old!

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks. Been given lots of encouragement.

I've done many other things but started to run C25k Sep 2018. My previous run was 1959 at school.

Running must be in the gene's. My grandson, now 18, was the under 17 GB 5k track and x country champion 2018/19.

[dieOR5k Graduate10]

Well done. I’m 20yrs less, but share the same 10k time. Now you need a treat!

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dieOR5k]

I need a rest first.🤣

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Over62]

Thanks for your reply. A little stiff today so I think 3 days off and might go salmon fishing Mon or Tue.

[Wimborne]

Fabulous run and huge congrats to you ❤️👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳. Such a perfect moment in time when you hit that 10k and realise just how far you can run and how much you have achieved and all that hard work was so worth it.

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thanks.👍

Every day now is a good day.

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate]

Inspirational 😍well done 👏

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to ForestGrump63]

Thanks👍

Hoped to have done a slightly quicker time, but kept pace nice and steady as it was humid then cooled near the end so speeded up. Otherwise condition were perfect.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Congratulations on your 10k in a fabulous time!!! 🥳🏃‍♂️🏅🍾🎈🎉🎊

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Thanks so much. Overwhelmed with all the replies, it's a great site to be part of.

Thought I might have done it in about 1:17, but it was humid, overcast and no wind, virtually perfect. I picked the right day.

Just glad to complete 10k non stop.

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Amazing achievement Silverfox1943 well done you👍 that’s my next goal to do 10k 🏃‍♂️

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

👍thanks.

Did about a years consolidation before deciding to do jujus plan, it works. Decided to do the time (60mins) first, then an easy 2 weeks, then increased and did 10k on my third run. Watched the weather forecast and picked Sat. Ideal but a bit humid so just kept a nice steady pace, finishing strongly.

Best of luck and stay injury free.

What a fantastic achievement! I ran my first 5k this week, 3 months after graduating C25k with a spell on the IC in between. I’m gradually working my way through a plan shared by roseabi that is preparing me for the timed version of the 10k plan, so it was interesting for me to read your post about you then working on your 10k. 😊

[Silverfox1943 Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

👍thanks so much.

I think some go straight for the 10k. I was dubious about that. C25k in 9 weeks but 10k in 8weeks(?).

I consolidated for a year due to some injuries and a couple of falls. It took 5 months to get over that, so just kept my runs nice and steady, mixing distance and routes all the time. Distances 3s,4s, and 5s.

I did jujus 60min plan first then 2 weeks easy then 3rd build-up for the 10k.

Just remember 5k=3.1 miles, 10k=6.2 miles.

Best of luck and stay injury free.
