Week One, Second Run of Ju-Ju’s Running Plan

[9weeks2Run]

First Post on Bridge to 10K!

🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ I ran my second run today. Was such a beautiful morning. I decided to run 5k and will do the 2.5k on Monday.

Today I decided to change my route up a bit instead of staying in the park. I ran along the river and over Albert bridge and around the outside of the park. Was such a lovely morning, it felt great to be out running. I must say I do feel so much stronger.

I saw a post this morning about running the Vitality 10k run on 31st May 2021, this has got me thinking........ I may very well enter this!!! I am going to see how I get on doing Ju-Ju’s Running Plan but would be fantastic to be able to enter my first event, event even if it is socially distanced. Is anyone else running it?

I have treated myself to some new leggings and another running top!!

Yes, do sign up. I am a solitary runner, but decided to sign up yesterday. There are a few of us in the forum signed up! You will have achieved a 10k by next May! I'm slow-ish, but don't care! Go for it!

Thank you so much Roxdog.

That is brilliant Well Done you for signing up!!

I think I will enter will be amazing I am just going to give myself a few more weeks to see how I get on with the plan but I would love to be able to do it and run 10k

Welcome to the Bridge and very well done for your second run of the Magic Plan 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍

It does sound like a lovely run. It’s a gorgeous sunny morning. 😊

Maybe I’ll sign up for the Vitality 10K. You should enter! You’ll probably be running at least 10K once a week by then 😊

More new running clothes 😀 sounds like you are hooked 😂

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you so much!!

Would be great, Roxdog said a few people are doing it we could all motivate each other!!

Omg that would be amazing if I was!!

Lol I know I am completely hooked on running!! I love Sweaty Betty stuff so much been looking at these leggings for ages, the ones I am wearing are loose and keep falling down so am getting brave and going to wear some proper fitting ones!

Hope you have had a lovely day

[Jools2020 Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

I’m sure you will be! Once I ran my first 10K I wanted to do it again! Then it gradually becomes normal. Take it slowly at first, then you can speed up later if you want. I’m still in the ‘take it slowly’ stage 😂. Sweaty Betty clothes are really good! Glad you are rewarding yourself for your amazing efforts 👍

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you for all your advice. Yes not Putting pressure on myself and timing the runs I am happy to take it slowly and enjoy the run and build up stamina to get to 10k.

Thank you! Yes feel I deserve a few treats and it feels so motivating to get new running clothes.

Great work and signing up would give you a great reason to keep running through winter. Happy running 🤗

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you so much Grannyhugs (love your profile name!). Yes that is a good point.

Enjoy your next run

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thank you - it took on extra meaning as we entered lockdown and hugs became a distant memory 🤗

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Ah bless you, so sad.

[Ant50 Graduate10]

Good luck with the plan. Just finished it this morning with the magic 10k run. The plan certainly works, not only in terms of hitting the 10k but generally in terms of building up stamina, so I am sure you will be fine.

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Ant50]

Congratulations Ant50 on completing the plan and running 10k that is brilliant, such a fantastic achievement you must be delighted especially regarding feeling stronger 👏👏👏🏅🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆

[Ant50 Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Yes, it feels really good. Amazed I ever made it to 5k never mind 10k. Good luck with your running !

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Ant50]

That is fantastic!!

Thank you.

Enjoy your next run

[Beatthestreet Graduate10]

I’m on juju plan too, week 2, doing time version first then maybe move onto, distance. But really like idea of entering 10km in spring as winter motivation.

Off to look up sweaty Betty stuff for my Xmas wish list

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Beatthestreet]

Hi BeattheStreet,

Oh that is fantastic how are you finding it?

Yes that is what I am thinking as well.

They have such lovely stuff! X

[Beatthestreet Graduate10]

Enjoying it once I get going... always a struggle to force myself out, but once start running, finding it quite ‘ doable’ so far. Good luck

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Beatthestreet]

That’s great!

Thank you. Enjoy your next run
