'A game' only - no 'plan B' here !!!

Hi guys ! Looking forward to W6R2 tomorrow , 'A game', at the ready , no contingency plans in place !! So thankful for C25K and the support of you guys !! We,ve come along way together and with your on going encouragement I plan to see this thing right through to graduation !! The thought of Friday,s 25 minute run gives me a big buzz !! No more walking from now on( he says !!) grateful though we have been at times for that little respite before once again kicking in to running mode.

Planning to extend our existing running route to negate the need to cover the same ground each time we go out and risk opening the door to boredom !!

Have been taking a peek over on, 'Bridge 2 10K', to see what the 'big boys',are up to ,all looks very interesting ,and 'grown up' ,I can,t wait to join them in the foreseeable future !! Just a quick question here, is the aim to literally run 10K, or, as is with C25K, is the goal to run for a set time period ie 30 minutes ?

Enjoy r2 tomorrow... I am planning to do r3 and it's always a leap of faith to think that you'll be able to do it... but I suppose I will (at some point).

Have a great run.

Bridge is pretty much about distance, but I believe the wonderful ju-ju- plan also comes in minutes version, so it would be your choice.

You’re best advised to consolidate C25K until it’s comfortable/easy before moving on... maybe then change to distance based, get to 5k and then follow the plan to 10? I have a preference for the distance based version as it opens up 10k events and medals hanging all over the house.

Anyways... enjoy that last interval run (of this plan)

When you head to Bridge.... ( and there are boys and girls!!!! ) the aim is whatever you want it to be..loads of consolidation first, ( C25K is only the beginning),, and then maybe take a peek at What's next... ?

There are plans you may use and ju-ju- 's Magic 10 is a terrific plan of you eventually decide to go for 10K :) Ju's plan is amazing and you go at your own pace.. with everything planned put for you :)

Get the runs done..head to the podium and Week 6.. slow and steady and relax into the longer runs... You'll be fine:)

Not what you're looking for?
