New Plan: JuJu’s Magic with CBDB’s workout

[CBDB]

Had a lovely annual leave day today, planning my next running phase. I’m ready for the Magic Plan! But I couldn’t let the workouts happen by chance. I needed a merged plan, one that combines the brilliance of JuJu’s Magic Plan with my plan-y workout routines. (PDF with clickable links at unwrapp3d.uk/wp-content/upl...

So here it is. Hope the picture is sharp enough! I had a lot of fun planning, and I hope to have even more fun running this!

It features returns (on popular request - mine) of Zombies, Laura’s Str & Flex and Runkeeper’s voices, but also added new Pilates and Yoga. And added to the mix is also a focus on my weak areas: knees and back!

And of course I finished my last 5-week plan yesterday, final write up and posting of the whole plan here: healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Happy running everyone!

Oh, and if someone knows how to keep the pictures sharp when uploading to HU, let me know. The original is sharper, but once uploaded, it’s lost its clarity. Sorry.

Looks like a great plan, looking forward to seeing how you're getting on 😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Thank you. Me too (looking forward to seeing how I get on) 🤣

🙏😁☺️

Wow. So much research and organisation has gone into this plan CBDB. You’ll love ju-ju’s Magic Plan. I did the timed version first then joined the distance one. Both are brilliant. Happy running!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I thought about that but as I am really really slow, I do 60 min quite regularly now. So I thought in order to progress I need to extend the distance. It means I might have to learn how to run 2hours at a time!😳

[Hidden in reply to CBDB]

You will manage the distance just fine. I’m a little envious of your super plan. I might have to try one of my own 😉😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

😁 yes, I seem to be improving on 3 fronts: running, working out, planning. 😀👍🏽

Sounds intriguing. Most of the spreadsheets I have seen here have been links to somewhere like Google drive.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Blackberrypie]

Yeah, I might just have to park the docs somewhere else. This was just so easy. Thanks! 🙏 😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Added links to clickable pdfs. Thx for the suggestion.

Very impressed with your planning skills CBDB. Have fun with the magic plan and don’t forget that it is flexible and you can do the runs in any order and take as many rest days as you want between runs.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you! Definitely. Runs in any order ✔️ and as many rest days as needed ✔️. Got it! 👍🏽☺️🙏

[David_G]

Very thorough training plan and lots of variety in there too! Good luck with it all CBDB

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Thank you! Yeah I need a bit of variety with with workouts but stability in terms of runs and routes. I’m not quite as adventurous with running as I am with trying out workouts. 👍🏽☺️🙏

[LurcherMum Graduate10]

This looks great. I'm off to do my own version!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to LurcherMum]

Ohhh, nice! Let us know how it goes! Are u also starting on week 1?

[LurcherMum Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

I've been out of things recently due to injury. Hoping to do 5k tomorrow for the first time in over 2months. Physio says I need to strengthen my butt! So need to do x3 runs and x3 workouts a week. See how I go tomorrow and then make a plan! I'll be watching to see how you get on with your plan!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to LurcherMum]

Hope your 5k goes well! 👏👍🏽🏃🏻‍♀️

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Well CBDB, spending a day of annual leave planning your running & exercise program says it all - brilliant enthusiasm & commitment! 👍🏻😄

PS I love the sound of Pyjama Pilates! 😂

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Yeah! I bet it’s not pyjama enough for me, though!🤣😴 yes, running and planning to run: can’t believe this has become such a beloved hobby!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

I hope this new beloved hobby goes with coffee & bagels - or some other delicious preferences!! 🤗🤗

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Coffee 👍🏽 I had to give up on bagels a long time ago, but am scoffing down virtual Devon Teacakes on my LEJOG journey up the country! 🥯 🤣

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to CBDB]

😂😂

[Blossom- 60minGraduate]

What an impressive plan! I do pyjama yoga on the weekend! And, yes, gotta have Zombies Run! Think I'll do my next run with the zombies 🧟🧟‍♂️😂

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Ohh there is a pyjama yoga? Sounds perfect for a Sunday morning! (... and no plan is a good plan without running from zombies!)🤣🧟‍♂️
