Well, I’ve started! I have this morning done WK1R1 of Ju Ju’s plan. I’ve chosen the timed route through it. This morning I ran for 15 minutes. I’ve been running 45 minute 5k runs during consolidation. I thought I’d try to tun a bit faster given the shorter time. The sheep that I passed seemed surprised, I gave my usual ‘meeehhrrr’ but I was gone in an instant! Further on, the horse with big teeth almost choked on its hay as I rushed by! At the end I’d run 1.77k, I’d been trying for 2k. But just as I found C25K a wizard plan, I’m sure Ju Ju has her magic wand in hand ready to propel this older lump towards the 10k finish line. Now.....should that ever happen, I shall eat my socks! Gonna be a fun journey though...
And we’re off!: Well, I’ve started! I have... - Bridge to 10K
And we’re off!

I hope you enjoy your journey to 10k and the longer runs - time to relax into the runs, find your comfortable pace and get in the zone!
Thank you Roxdog as ever, your sound advice is always helpful. I’m going to try to enjoy it!
Took me ages to get to 10k but it's now my favourite distance. I've never run in my life so it constantly astounds me. Good luck

Yay! Go 030961! 💪 You definitely did run a bit faster than the pace you said yesterday! (45mins- 5K - Ave. Pace = 9mins. 15mins - 1.77K - Ave. Pace = 8.47 .... ish 🤔 🤷♂️ 🤭). We’re with you every step of the way on your new journey! ✊
Thanks PhoenixRise, I can’t tell you how excited I am about trying to get there. Two years ago the Big C meant I couldn’t for five months leave a hospital bed for a wee, so to get to 10k would be something I’d be so delighted to achieve. To have the support of you and this incredible community is wonderful.
Sounds like a great start, best order some new socks, because you’re definitely going to be eating your old ones. Enjoy 😊🤗
