First of all what a great goal to have for next year. Oh and no need to s☆☆☆ yourself😂 . All your running up until now have prepared you for it. Just go slow and slower again . You can do it 😊😊

in reply toBuddy34

🤣 Thanks for your encouragement Buddy! Im going to give both of them my best shot!! 😊

Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition as long as a sensibly structured training regime guides you along the way.

Time to change your mental approach.......fearing any run is wholly counterproductive.

Have you read this about mental approach healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

And this breakdown of W5 healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax and you will run better.

Pass the plan forward, my aim is 10k in may and wonder if I'll manage the hills. But 6 months training. Good luck for all your future runs

What an amazing goal... I am hoping to be able to do 10k by next May and thought that was maybe being a little ambitious. Enjoy your W5R3 and have faith in yourself :)

in reply totiggs1

Go for it! Mine is a 10k in March too!! We can do it 💪🏼

👍🏻🤣 well that's a bit of motivation to keep going. You'll be fine, that's plenty of time, just take it all steady and don't push yourself too hard. You'll be fine 👌🏻😁
