Ju-Ju's 10k Magic Plan - W8 R3 - 10K Done!! 🥳

[Kish247]

My first attempt at the 10k today and pleased to say I've done it! 😀👍

8k-9k was was a struggle but as soon as the Nike app told me I had reached 9k, I was pleased and the final 1k was better.

As you can see from the end of my run, I wasn't 100% sure where I wanted to go to make it to 10k so maybe that's why 🤦‍♂️🤣

I'm not sure what I want to do next, I'm thinking some sort of Fartlek training but not sure how easy it is to do that without a Smart watch?

I'll definitely be mixing it up with some 3k and 6k runs and maybe just sticking to a duration rather than a distance.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I reckon I've earned a takeaway and a beer 🤔

Stay safe all 🙏 🏃‍♂️

Congratulations to you Kish247 on running your first 10K, well done, remember to tell the administrators, after that you will see the words Graduate10 next to your username on this forum, keep to 10K runs for the moment to increase your pace and speed, perhaps you may get a sub 75 minutes 10K soon, good luck.

Well done! NRC has a guided fartlek run that is quite fun, it’s with Coach Bennet and there a 7min warm up run then 10mins fartlek. It’s helped me get faster, maybe give that a go! You won’t need a smart watch as he tells you when to go 😊 have a lovely day 🏃🏻‍♀️

Thank you LouiseA , much appreciated. I've downloaded First Fartlet Run now so will see about doing that this week.

I've also downloaded Inspired Run by Coach Cory as he lives local to me so want to give a run of his a go now that I'm going to start mixing it up again

Well done Kish247, that’s brilliant! It’s a great feeling 😀🏃‍♂️. I only did my 2nd 10k today, and like you was struggling around 8/9k. It didn’t help that my Fitbit thought I’d run further than Coach Bennett said I had! Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! Enjoy the rest of the day. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congratulations on your first 10K! Fantastic achievement! 👏👏👏👏👍 Enjoy your success, you’ve earned it 😊👍

[Kish247 Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you Jools2020 - I'm definitely looking forward to not being on a plan again but I know I'll miss having a target to work towards soon. I think I'll look in to speed improvements now

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Brilliant! Well done on your first 10k.😁💪👏👏👏 A real milestone. You have definitely earned a beer and a takeaway 😋

As others have said there's an NRC Fartlek run. Or you can just go freestyle and sprint between random landmarks on some of your runs. You don't need a smartwatch for that.

Thank you Birdlady64 ! No beer but had a takeaway for sure! I have downloaded First Fartlet Run now so will see about doing that this week!
