I have just finished week 2 of the b210k and i'm finding it tough and exhausting so i'm hoping Laura will have something different for me to try:-)

I did week 2 of b210k this morning, such a long run! Have been using the week1 to run/run a bit faster too...quite agree, missing laura!!

I didn't do another plan straight away. It might be worth sticking around 5k for a few weeks; always finding the runs tough and exhausting might de-motivate you and we don't want that!!

Keep at it. This program is completely doable. I am 56 years old and have never jogged a day in my life although I love to walk and play tennis. I have lost 23 pounds since January when I started the program along with Weight Watchers. I am on week 7 run3 now have no trouble. The hardest week for me was week 5 but the progression is good. I found by repeating some of the runs if I had missed more than 2 days was very beneficial. I am looking at doing a 5k at the coast (it's flat) in July. Should be ready. Hang in there. It's a good program.

Thanks guy, I think I might stick to the 5k runs for a couple of weeks more before i step up to the 10k programme, although I graduated more than 4 weeks ago from the 5k. The trouble is I like goals and beating my 5k time is now getting really tough so I easily get frustrated. Also its warming up down here (South of France) so I think I was silly to have run during the day rather than my normal early morning time.The heat does seem to sap your energy very easily even with constant sips of water:(
