Garmin 10k week 2

[Reggit]

I’ve done 3 out of 4 runs on the garmin program.

Mon - 4.82k/3mi (neg split)

Tue - 4.82k

Thu - 6.44k/4mi (neg split)

To come ....

Sat - 3.22k/2mi (cadence drills)

Just looked at next weeks and the longest is 3 miles again, don’t know how this plan is going to develop as you can’t look more than a week ahead. Sorely tempted to jump ship and onto Ju-ju’s plan. Think I’ll see how I feel after next week.

Felt I could have easily extended today’s run by 1-1.5k if it wasn’t a neg split. Hmm decisions, decisions....

WillowandSola are doing the Garmin 10K plan, a few weeks ahead of you. I think they thought the beginning a bit tame. Anyway check out their posts.

I wouldn't like not knowing what was ahead as I'm a bit impatient as to what's next and like to see that the plan will be achievable for me.

I'm sure the G plan will be fine.

We made it to week 7, and haven’t we learned a lot since I quit and posted a pic of the sea? I’m going to see about programming the Magic Plan later, it’s a good plan and you can swap the days around so the long run day can be on my day off which is different each week, the Garmin one is fixed, i found the 3 day a week one but think programming our own an exciting idea

On week 2 we did 6.44 k and again on about week 5 otherwise it’s all 3.22k or 4.83 k and apart from the pulled calf it’s lefts us a bit dissatisfied, on a day off from work I like a longer easy run and on a long work day a short walk would do.

Good luck with yours and i’ll be interested to see how you get on

I’ve just started Week 4 of the Garmin plan, still lots of cadence drills but they start introducing a few different elements from week 5 onwards, that I can see (magic miles, hill workout, race pace runs, long runs etc).

I’ve been running during the warm up and warm downs so manage to get a fair distance up. For example I did the “3 mile run”, which you have next, on Sunday and clocked up 7.5k total. All flexible though.

The plan says it’s supposed to be adaptive but agree it’s a slow start.

Hmm, I wonder if that’s a different plan to the one I’m following, I think there’s three when I looked. There are no warm up/down segments in the ones I’m doing. I just walk for about 5 minutes then start the workout... how strange!

Ah that’s probably it, I think I’m on the “Coach Jeff” 10k plan

I’ve got Amy (who’s close to getting sacked 😂)
