Just entered a 10k run this summer! What?!?!?? Crazy as I can't even run 30 mins is a row, in fact I haven't done any running in 2 weeks due to ill health!
But I can totally do this, right?! The run is not until July so plenty of time and a concrete goal is always a good thing. Hopefully I will be able to do some fund raising through it too.
Wish me luck 
You can totally do this!!! Just keep running and you'll be fine. Lots of time to prepare before July.
You can always run-walk the race if you prefer that.
AND I should add it's great to have a goal. I signed up for a 5 k before I started the program. It ensures you stay on track. 
Of course you can do it, I struggled at week 1, and now my final run at week 5 was an absolute breeze. This is why the c25k program is so good for beginners the progression levels are perfect each week.
You can definitely do it. I signed up for my 1st 10km about 3 months before the date and I could just about do 5km. You can either follow a plan (my asics is good) or gradually increase 1 of your weekly runs. For me having something to aim for is a great incentive to keep going. I've run in 3 10km races now and I've found fellow runners to be friendly and it's been fun. Keep us posted on your progress & post a picture of your medal ☺
Hey of course you can do it! I've been hesitating entering something in September but I think a goal to aim for has to be the way to go x
Good luck, you can do it!
You can do this! I hadn't ran for about 4 months and only started running again at the start of January. I used to only run on the treadmill previously and 5k was a major struggle. With 3 runs a week (running outside) I have built myself up to 10k in the last week - I find music and focusing in my breathing really helps. When I find it tough, as I breathe out I say in my mind 'I can do this'. Put together a playlist that has uptempo music towards the 6k mark and you will keep going. Just build yourself up slowly and pop in a few shorter runs too. You have totally got this
Go for it, as others have, said, it's good to have a goal. I have just signed up for my first HM and feel the same as you, but excited also. Go for it !!!
Haha Catmay, yes you are crazy and I am too so that makes the two of us "crazy2" . 👀Now don't give up as I will be on your case ! My run is 11.3k in July too.
Yes you can do it! I've restarted the plan after a break from running, currently on week 5 and I signed up for a 10k a couple of weeks ago for the end of May. Its good to have a goal to keep your focus on. Good luck!
Take a look at actionaid.org.uk/fundraise/... lots of info on there and a couple of good training plans
Thank you everyone! You are the best support
Good Luck Cat !
Yes you can do this , youve got loadsa time to train !
Good Luck and let us know how the trainings going ! xxx
You can do this - no problem at all! I couldn't run for a full minute last May and I have now done 5 or 6 10k runs - some easier than others but all were completed! Go for it!
