Running plan to get from 5k to 10k

[Jolem]

Hello, I have just started to be able to run to 7k after completing 5k a few months ago and run 3 sometimes 4 times a week with varied distances from 4K - 7k but feel I need more guidance so that I can achieve my goal. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Congratulations on running 5K, if you wish to run a 10K try Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan, it's not a app but a training course a little like C25K.

Thanking you.

A lot of people here have used juju's magic 10 plan .

There is I distance or time version .

If your already running 4-7k

Then I would probably do the distance version.

Hi Jolem , yet another recommendation for the Magic Plan already linked in other posts.

From what you say you could pick up the distance version at week 4. Have fun!

Great, thank you

What other members said, and top of which I'd throw the BlueFin approach into the mix as it's a really simple way of following the same C25K principle to extend run to 10k.

I've posted about this a couple of times. See here for details: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

Many thanks -can’t find the Blue Fin approach though on this site. Will Google it 👍👍

I linked a post from my previous comment and that contains links to more information, and the BlueFin site. See also this post healthunlocked.com/bridgeto... which has a screenshot of the BlueFin interval approach.

Yet another magic plan graduate here! I found out straightforward to follow and it was effective. I missed the commentary from c25k and discovered the Nike Run Club app later which has great guided runs. If I were doing the magic plan again, I’d use some of the runs from that. You can choose options that are roughly the right duration or pick the distance you want to cover. There’s no warm up or cool down walk on the guided run though so it’s worth remembering that when you’re planning when to start it!

Really good luck. If you decide to go beyond 10k, the NRC half marathon plan is great,
