Silly grin on your face all day π€©
Look forward to seeing your progress π
Thank you, on nd upwards to 10K..πͺπͺ
Excellent and congratulations!
Now... before you head out on your 10k run π , you'd do well to consolidate for the next month ahead. So get your body used to running at least 30 mins, 3 times a week. Feel free to use the principle of Weeks 7, 8 and 9 by increasing the time in your feet a little bit each week.
Just remember that you are still a beginner (unless you've hidden an impressive running history from us). This means that your body still isn't used to running really - it's at this early stage that you are very vulnerable to injury - particularly as a new and excitable graduate. It takes 1-2 years of regular running for the body to become fully adapted to the stresses of it. Yes, 1-2 years.
So, take it easy, enjoy your graduation and consolidation and don't do too much too soon.
One to two years..ooh well 18months to go for meππββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
It's true. Something like 85% of runners get injuries at sometime - it's a hard sport! So ... best to build a habit and take regular rest days and just be as sensible as possible.
I've had 5 injuries in the last 2 years ... I should really listen to my own advice!
I will take all your advice on board, thank you..
I completed the program twice before and had to stop because of injury..this time around I had changed my diet completely (Vegan) for months before hand.. started a weight training and excersise regime.. this time around no problems to speak of.. π€
I really believe you have to be in good shape to run regular and for any distance π
Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Thatβs brilliant! Well done! Iβm chugging along behind you and will hopefully get there! Iβve got wk5r3 tomorrow which seems a big jump 8 to 20 min running. Iβll put some fat boy slim on and stagger along. Itβs so good hearing how everyoneβs getting on - makes it seem achievable! Well done again! X
