NRC app now has 10k plan included :)

Haven't seen this mentioned in the forum yet, but I just happened to be browsing the plans and noticed 10k is there! Not sure when it appeared; perhaps you all know!

It's been there a while.. I tried it while back , after time out, to get back to 10K, but went back to ju-ju- s magic plan.. the 10K plan on NRC did not suit me. .

Fantastic! I think it must have been really recent-I was looking a couple of weeks ago and it wasn’t there then. It’s a Christmas miracle! 😂

Glad to be the bearer of good news! I will definitely be using it when I go for a 10k PB!

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to chrisl72]

That’s a nice target to have! After your recent half marathon (that must still feel good!) you might really enjoy the shorter runs again with a bit of a different focus. This time of year is brilliant for setting new goals. I need to get thinking!

I'm trying to work out at the moment how to blend the 10k plan for a PB in with keeping the distance work. I'm wanting to keep the door open to the local HM in March... I think it will be ok to lengthen the weekly long run so that 13 miles is still 'on'.

Part of me would still like to finish the HM plan properly. I did 13 miles with 4 weeks still to go and perfectionist me doesn't like to end the plan early!

Also - the plan in the App is different from the website/pdf - the App has 1 speed run per week but workouts in the NTC App, the pdf has 2 speed runs.

I did exactly the same when I did it! I had a half marathon race four weeks later. Have fun working out what fits best. The Fun Beyond 10k board I’m sure will have some wise advice.

I hadn’t realised the app plan and the pdf were different. Maybe I need to do it to investigate properly. I’m tempted by a 10k pb push myself. I took a chunk off my 5k but have been ill every time I’ve got back on track so I never tried really hitting a 10k goal. Maybe that’ll be my next quest!

Happy Christmas! 🎄

I saw that the other day and it got me thinking a good way to build back up to 10k

I didn’t realise it was there either Chris! It’s nice to have a plan between plans, if you know what I mean, so I’ll do that between HMs next year! Thanks for the heads-up. 😀
