Yeah we have. I've been doing the 10k. Listening to my body, easing off for a wee bit. Plan to do ju-ju one now. Looks more sensible lol

It’s a very well structured plan, and a great continuation from C25K... good learning on the way too. I’m on a different mission for now, but January 2nd I may feel like I need a 10k event and that’s the plan I’d choose to get me there.

What mission are you on? I manged the 10k I. Week 2 of the zen labs but I'm finding that I'm doing over 8k 3 times a week which is getting tough on the joints . I like the look of the ju-ju as I can work on the smaller runs as well.

I’m on 25 minute 5k attempt... so hoping to close that and then go 10k, though my race plan gets me closer to 10k

I hear you... one long run a week is better by far.
