Completed it!!

I did it!! Finished my last run this morning. 5k In 32 mins- I know I went over but was determined to get to 5k no matter how long it took. Never thought I would be able to run for that distance but I have loved it.

I potentially may have the running bug- can anyone recommend a good app for now achieving 10k? I want to run 5km consistently for a month before I try for a 10K.

Woo hoo! 🎉 Fantastic achievement. Really well done. Come to the bridge to 5k forum. Loads of advice there.

I’m doing juju’s magic plan which isn’t an app but very easy to follow. I’ve quite liked the freedom of just setting a distance goal (or you could do a time goal) without anyone talking to me. I’ve had the Nike run club app recommended so I’m going to be incorporating some of their runs into my training. There are definitely runs on there that would be suitable for consolidation.

I also ran 5k during the programme and found going from 5k to 10K much easier than 0k to 10K.

Enjoy consolidating and congrats again.
