Well done! You’ll do 5k easily!

Enjoy your holiday!

Thanks Tasha99 - I’m guessing a few more 30 mins runs and should nail it. 😊

Absolutely! Remember it doesn’t have to be in 30 minutes though 👌🏽

Wow well done!

That's about 3 mins faster than your Parkrun time isn't it?

Ripcurlrana71 in reply to pianoteacher4 years ago

Thanks! Strava was a minute quicker than map my run - figure that? PR was 36.55 but not flat. Beachfront is pretty flat. 😊

Well done. I’m taking notes for my postgrad runs because I also want to make 5k in 30 mins my first target.

A 10k in October? Oh my. I was aiming for next May. And now you’ve got me thinking. October will be cooler than May. And it is still a while off...

Enjoy New York.

Ripcurlrana71 in reply to Jay66UK4 years ago

A few weeks back I was going to do a 5k but thought I need a challenge. Surely it’s doable by Oct? Also running for charity for my dad who passed away in 2016. That’s what is motivating me. 😍

Jay66UKGraduate in reply to Ripcurlrana714 years ago

That’s a real motivation. Good for you!

I think I need to get to 5k to know how soon I could do 10k. After this programme I am confident there is a programme out there that could get me to 10k fairly “easily” but I think my lack of core strength would be the main handicap. I need to shift this excess weight and tone up, which is why 12 months seems more realistic for me. But who knows...

We all have our own goal - look how far we have come. Try a park run. They are really good motivators to get to 5k. It will help you gage your fitness. I know I need to increase pace and some hill training! Or find s very flat park run. 😊

I am pretty amazed to have reached the final week. 3 runs still to go but massively chuffed at myself for sticking to it.

I just know you are going to smash a 10k. It’s hard work - I sneaked a peak at a training programme for it - but it’s just C25K with knobs on.

Keep posting your progress, won’t you?

Enjoy your hols. Will you get to run over there? I'm doing W9R3 tonight by the sea so it should be cool. I've also signed up for an 8km in August and a 10km in October. I plan to consolidate and then jump onboard Ju-Ju's next Bridge to 10km train...

Well done on your lovely early morning 5km

Ripcurlrana71 in reply to Hidden4 years ago

Thanks Paula. I’m packing my running gear and looking at doing a run in Central Park! Pretty hot over there so not sure how long it will be but at least do one!

Oooh graduation run tonight how exciting! Will look out for your run post after. Great to have set our next challenges right? 🙌🏼 On you two runs. I’ll be following your progress. 💪🏼😎
