My first 10k

Been doing the magic plan for a month or so. After I went on holiday in sept I lost the motivation. And stuck mainly to 5k runs in the last few weeks. Some of which were torturous. Then on Saturday morning I woke up, put on my gear and headed out of the house. After 5k I was feeling good and didn’t want to stop, so I didn’t. I managed my first 10k!!! I was so pleased with myself, and getting the scary first 10k out of the way.

Well done! Nothing like that first 10k. You will soon find, like I did, that it's no longer scary and is very exciting! The start of long, relaxed runs in the zone!

Lost my mojo this week, so reading your post has helped motivate me!

It really is! Was missing that sense of achievement the c25k gave me.
