Starting Bridge to 10K this month - excited but nervous!

So after finishing my 11th 5K following the Couch25K programme I feel like I'm in need of a new challenge to see me through the darker mornings and evenings!

I've got quite a few major things going on in my personal life (all positive mind, but just a bit stressful!) and have found runing the perfect antidote to stress. It's also helped me with my weight loss goal so look forward to keeping that up.

I've promised myself a new running watch when I complete the programme - any reccomendations welcome. I currently have an old Garmin Forerunner 35 which has taken a bit of a battering over the years and seems to have lost it's GPS ability..

I'll be doing W1R1 tomorrow, it feels weird to be back at the start of a programme, but I have my short route all mapped out and am looking forward to it!

I wasn't very involved in the C25K forum when I was doing the programme - lurking from afar, but think I may need a tad more moral support for the 10K :)

Welcome to the Bridge to 10K forum. Your in the right place. You don't have to be running regular 10K's to hang out here. I personally run 5K and 7K a lot. I'm training back up to 10K again now myself. Check out the pinned posts and look out for ju-ju's magic plan. It's a great weekly plan to get to 10K. Another way is to do 3 x 5K runs per week, pick one of those runs as your long run and add 500 meters onto it each week. It's a nice steady way to get to 10K. Nothing at all to be nervous or anxious about. It is just running a bit longer than your already running now.

And post when ever you like here. I have a Forerunner 35 too. I love mine, it does everything I want from a running watch. The new Forerunner 45 is a nice upgrade if your watch is failing you. Happy Running and welcome again.

From a fellow newbie on this forum, welcome.

Despite a few hiccups I'm hoping to do the same. Will be interesting to watch your journey.

Good luck with reaching 10k.😁👍
