New challenge towards 10K

[Mulux20]

It was as if I am dreaming. Two years ago I met a man jogging and he said that he run 10K twice a week, and I was very surprised thinking that is impossible for me.

After i graduate C25K, I have done the week 9 run twice and now I have started the 10k training which is really great and I am on the second week which means I did W10 Run 2 Yesterday and I run for 8 KM that is amazing progress for me.

Running starting to be my life and I can feel how fit I am getting

Thanks for all of you who encouraged me.

2nd week(10th week from 10K) 15min run 1 min walk to repeat 3 times

3rd week (11th week of 10K) 17 min run 1 min walk to repeat 3 times

Hi Mulux.

Is this 10k a programme or podcast or something like that, or just a routine you follow?

I suppose I'm asking if there is a downloadable podcast a la Laura, as I have got on so well with C25K and I am nearing graduation.

Thanks.

Hi Idolitorus.

It sounds like the app I downloaded. Bridge to 10k - bluefin inc.

Hope that helps

[Mulux20 Graduate in reply to Idolitorus]

It is a 10k App you can download for free from apple store or play store

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Mulux20]

Ah shame I don't have an IPhone but as you have kindly listed what I have to do I will follow that ! Thank you

[Mulux20 Graduate in reply to ridingstar]

It is also available from android

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Mulux20]

Do you know what it is called my running phone is an Android my usual phone is a windows phone not good for aps but excellent at reading and sending texts through my car so has its uses ! x

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Mulux20]

I'm going to try that thank you is it a podcast ?

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to ridingstar]

There are dropbox links to both the blue fin 10K and the Sami Murphy one here in the pinned posts. I think they are the same or very similar, the music is different on each. You could also download a programme from myasics. xx

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thank you I will find the links sounds like a perfect way to get to 10k and I am really up for it starting tonight ! x

Sami Murphy is a blast! My fave running podcast of all time

I love Cheap Trick "Surrender" It makes me laugh and helps pull me round

Good luck with your 10 k quests folks. 10 k is a fab distance to nail

Tried the first one 10 mins x 4 tonight wasn't too bad as have been running for 35 mins regularly but I am really sweating now and it was cooler tonight so must have worked harder I am really looking forward to the challenge

[Mulux20 Graduate in reply to ridingstar]

Great work!

It seems that lowering the performance from the 30 minute (35 min in your case) to 4 times 10 minutes run but the walking interval between is just one min and helps a lot for the next coming challenges.

I would stick to eat you will do 15 min three times soon then 22 min twice, you will feel the different.

It works for me

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Mulux20]

I decided 10 mins wasn't really enough so did the 15 mins last night really happy with that did 7.16km !! How often do you run these?

[Mulux20 Graduate in reply to ridingstar]

Well done! Ridingstar

I run three times a week On Monday, Wednesday and Friday

I also do park run on Saturday to see how my performance is improved.

If you did the 15 minute three times having a day rest in between, the next is 17 min interval for three days a week then ....

that is great Keep it up you are really doing well

[ridingstar Graduate in reply to Mulux20]

Wow that's a lot of running I need the rest days to keep my knees happy ! I will have to do it a bit slower so I can do a park run as well. So I will have to do each week over 8/9 days I love having structure back in my running
