Very useful thanks! It’s funny how people think alike. I was also planning to jump quickly to 10k. But now I’ll wait to consolidate my progress.

Interestingly I did C25k on a treadmill. I’m thinking of venturing out soon. I tried running outside once. It’s just running in the gym makes me feel more focused. It’s almost like meditation. Any advice on this regard!?

A couple of weeks consolidation is considered good practice, but if you then use the 10% rule, it on takes a few further weeks to get up to 10k.

I have only ever run on a treadmill for gait analysis so only have second hand experience to offer. Start outside with level routes. Be prepared for it to take a few runs before you are as physically comfortable outside as on the treadmill. Find an interesting place to run.

I admire your tenacity doing the programme on a treadmill.........my boredom threshold is far too low to permit me to do that.
