Juju's magic plan - wk 8🏃‍♀️(final week) I DID IT!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🍾🎉🥵

[clairer6873]

Wow, I'm so happy right now! I can't believe that I've done it!!🏃🏻‍♀️

4k - 21m55s

5k- 28m13s

10k - 59m18s 🥳

The last couple of weeks, I've done the 2 shorter runs outdoors🌳 so I'm going to continue this & build them up, so eventually my longer run is outdoors. I've got a 10k race for life booked in October so need to get outdoors for that! I think I'll do 2 runs a week, starting with 5k outdoors & 10k on treadmill, building the outdoor run up each week until I swap them over (or do both outside!)

What did everyone else do once completing Juju's magic plan/10k?

Please can somebody tell me where I can get my 'badge' ?

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Thank you, I'm made up! Its the furthest I've ever ran 😁🏃🏻‍♀️

Congratulations on that first 10k. 👏👏It’s a good time to consolidate for a while so don’t increase your weekly total for a few weeks, but increasing your outside distance and reducing the indoor distance is a great idea.

Thanks for the advice 👍🏼😊

Congratulations on your 10k, those are excellent times too.

Personally I recommend you get outside as much as possible now. I'm biased, as I've only ever run outside in hilly countryside and slogging away inside on a dreadmill is my idea of running hell. However elevation, the surface you're running on, and the weather will all make a difference to your run

There's no post-10k blueprint. Your running future is your choice. Slower or faster pace, shorter or longer distances, roads or trails... it doesn't matter as long as you're happy. Personally I love messing around on forest tracks and running longer distances, which is absolutely not what I expected when I started C25K, and still seemed unlikely when I did my first 10k.

Happy running, whatever you choose!

[clairer6873 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Hill running sounds scary 😱 but I definitely want to have more variation in my runs rather than a flat treadmill! Thanks 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Fantastic effort, if it wasn’t for the heat I’d say get outdoors now for all your runs, actually scratch that, ignore the heat and get outside it’s fantastic. As to what’s next, what do you fancy? Running 10miles, targeting a monthly distance? Taking part in a virtual long distance challenge. Whatever you choose believe in yourself. Happy running 🤗

[clairer6873 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I'm definitely going to work towards getting outdoors more! I do my longer runs on the treadmill for fear of failure outdoors, but I've reached 10k now so its time to go for it I think! 10 miles will be my next target, but I want to work at getting 10k outdoors first 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to clairer6873]

Do believe in yourself, to boost your confidence you could do a few loops of a favourite shorter outdoor run 🤗

[sparky66 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your first 10K It's a brilliant achievement 👏👏👏

And in such a fast time.. really well done!

I just consolidated a few 10Ks and ran a couple of shorter runs in a week, then gradually increased my longer distance by one or two Ks every other week, it's worked well for me so far 😊

Good luck have fun x

[clairer6873 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

I think this sounds like a good plan and think I'll probably do the same 😁

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Congratulations, that is absolutely amazing! 🎉💪👏👏👏 Enjoy that incredible feeling, you'll be smiling for days 😃

[clairer6873 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you! I think I will be, still can't believe I did it!😁

[CBDB Graduate10]

Woohoo!!! 🎉🥳🎈🎊🎉🥳🎊

Nice one! 10k, what an achievement!

[clairer6873 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Yey! Thank you 😁🎉

[Dups Graduate10]

Well done on completing your 10k. It really is your choice what to do. Shorter faster runs or consolidate on your 10k or run longer distances.

I worked on adding extra on a 10k run gradually once a week with one 5k run and one 6/7k run a week until I could run 10miles.

It really is up to you as long as you enjoy it . Good luck and happy running 😊
