Thank you. It was my first attempt pass 5k and did have alittle more in the tank to go further but not want to over do it and risk injury. I guess it was just the excitement and adrenaline kicking in
Great work, best tip - avoid injury by increasing time and distance by only 10% per week. Nothing worse than reaching 10k soon but then being on IC. Happy running 🤗
Well done on getting past 5 k Fitness84. My advice would be to stick to the 10% rule ie increase your total running or your long run by no more than 10% per week. Juju’s magic plan starts again this week, if you’d like to join that. It is a safe plan and also includes suggested strengthening exercises.
Why is it magic? Because it got many of us to 10k when we didn’t think we’d have a scooby do. 😂😂
Oh yes I see you are on the very long list of people doing it. Ju-Ju will post the plan this week but basically it consists of a 5k and a short run plus 1 run which gets longer each week. The plan lasts 8 weeks and includes 1 week’s consolidation of both 8k and 9k.
I’m doing it for the 3rd time at the moment and enjoy having a plan which is adaptable. You can do the runs in any order and take as many rest days as you like to fit in with life.
Well done Fitness84!! That pace is phenomenal!! 😃😃 Well done you! 🤩
I have done 10k, but it’s been a while, I’ve recently started a 10k plan. I’ll leave those more experienced to advise. But, perhaps going a bit slower, you’ll get the extra distance in pretty easily. Going slower can be challenging too. Not that much for me mind! 😂
