About to graduate!

So this is my last week. Loved every minute (ish) and I'm considering my next steps. Has anyone any experience of apps for moving up to 10k and how big a jump is it? Thanks

There are some apps but you might want to look at this post, from the FAQs healthunlocked.com/couchto5... .

Basically though the most common advice is to consolidate your 30 min runs for a couple of weeks and then many people move to the Bridge to 10K forum on here where one of the admins runs a 10K programme (no app but you follow the weekly posts on there). Good luck with your last week!

I found it much easier to go to 10k than 5k! Only took me 16 days from graduation, although I’d done 3 5ks by then. Once you get going at a slow pace, you can just plod on. They do recommend only 10% increases each week though. You could sign up to ju-ju’s plan on the bridge to 10k forum. No app but a program to follow.
