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 to Buddy34

🤣 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.

Impressed , i had the s problem before my race on sunday and it was just a 5k. Are you planning some shorter races between now and then. Great for you having targets to run to. Best of luck

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 to tiggs1

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 👌🏻😁
