Group Magic Plan/Nike Run Club App 10k plan starting Jan 1st!

[MissUnderstanding]

Happy Christmas everyone! This is the time of year that many people start thinking about New Year’s Resolutions. Once people finish Couch to 5k, many graduates decide that they’d like to build their distance and/or their run time from 30 minutes to 60 minutes or up to 10k. To help support any graduates with this goal, we’re going to start a group run through the Magic Plan or the Nike Rub Club 10k plan (your choice). Starting on January 1st, there’ll be a weekly post describing the runs and inviting you to share how it’s going for you. We’re going to be flexible and there’s no pressure to keep up with the schedule. Just like Couch to 5k, you can adapt to suit what’s best for you. The main thing I hope you’ll all get is loads of encouragement!

Perhaps you’d like to browse the plans and start thinking about which will work best for you.

The Magic Plan is detailed here…

Three runs a week done by time or distance. Slower runners often prefer the time-based version. The advantage of this plan is there’s no need for commentary or much tech. It’s a purely paper based plan and it’s easy to follow if you have a way of tracking how far you’ve run such as strava or a smart watch. It’s super simple if you use the time based version-all you need is a regular watch for that!

Some people miss having a coach in their ear. If that’s you, maybe you’d enjoy the Nike Run Club app plan…

This plan is available on the Nike Run Club app. It offers five runs a week but we’d suggest choosing three or making a week last longer if you’re less than six months into your run journey. That means you can keep your rest days. The runs include easy runs, speed runs (so much fun!) and longer runs. There’s commentary available from Coach Bennett and others. It’s often very cheesy but if you can get on board with that, the advice is absolutely brilliant

Whichever plan you think is best for you, there’ll be support and camaraderie available. I’ve done both and enjoyed both!

So who is in? Look out for the first post on January 1st!
