Finished the programme, What next?

3 Replies

Loved this podcast fantastic music and Laura was a reassuring voice when I felt like I couldnt do it. Been running 30 mins a day for the last week love it so much. But what next? I run the same route - along the lovely Southsea sea front - as the one I used in week nine so I know it is a 30 min run without timing it, I use my ipod on shuffle which is fun as can't recall half the songs that come up but I miss the structure of the programme. So I try running a little faster but thats about all. Does anyone know if there are any plans for a new podcast for the next stage? that would be good.

I've finished too - well done! I am planning to increase my speed and to attempt hills (so far been running on the flat). I'm looking forward to using my own music too!

there is the bridge to 10k program & that is structured with "get ready to run, go" & "time to walk for a minute" type instructions.

personally I would wait until you felt really comfortable with 30mins of running before you move up to the bridge to 10k as the first week involves 4x10min runs.

I have the podcasts on my computer & would be happy to email them over. please "message" me with your email address.

I just kept running the week 9 programme for a few weeks to 'consolidate' and I wasn't ready to give up the routine and Laura's gentle nudges.

Eventually I just found myself drifting into using my own music, changing my ties and paces as I grew more confident.

Not what you're looking for?
