Week 9 Run 2

[Natedog1805]

Morning all. So happy another run under my belt. Ran for 30 mins no problem was at 4.3K at this stage so pushed on to complete 5k in 34.38. Im feeling great i even took a tougher route with some inclines. Now I need to decide if I want to work on going further or better my 5k time.

Well done - you are so nearly there with the program and sound as though you are loving your running! Once you have graduated you may like to look at our FAQ for graduates as it can be hard to know what to focus on next!

We usually suggest consolidating that 30 min or 5k run for a few weeks to help insure that foundation of fitness is there before deciding where to take your running next. Having said that, people come to this program with very varying levels of fitness and of course of different ages, so it is about knowing your own body too. Lots of ideas though, if you follow these links.

You might also want to check out our Bridge to 10k forum to see what others here have chosen to do....and we also have a Marathon Running and Race Support forum for those of us who just can't stop! 😉 Good luck! 🙂

Morning Sandra thank you for your reply it is very useful. I think I will consilidate my 5k for a couple more weeks and then gradually build up my distance.

Sounds like a plan! You are already running very decent times for this stage of the program and I suspect those pb's will come quite regularly over the next few weeks! 🙂
