As a new graduate I dont want to stop at 5K but work up next to 10K. Ive found having a weekly plan as per the 5k really motivating and wondered if anyone knows of any links for a plan to go from 5-10K. Thanks.

what did you have in mind - podcasts similar to C25K or a plan that you can follow yourself, using an app?

I used the runningbug 10K training programme which worked for me. There's a lot on the internet of a similar nature. I would suggest printing a few programmes off and study them to see which suits you and your lifestyle best.

Congratulations on your graduation - lovely feeling isn't it?

The new podcasts C25K+ weren't out when I graduated so I just did my own thing. 2 x shorter runs a week with interval training of a mix of hills (short sharp) and speed bursts about

3.5K-4K, this helped build up strength and stamina. Then one long run finished my week off which I gradually lengthened to 6.5K, 7.4K, 8.6, 10K it took about 6 weeks. I used my own music which I made a play list of upbeat stuff over 2 hours in total which I play on the shuffle mode that way I'm not listening to the same old. I still use this sytem but I'm trying bigger and steeper hills these days. The Speed podcast out now is good and also Stepping Stones all part of the NHS C25K+ well worth trying. Good luck.

I'm planning on using this plan in two weeks time. Though as I'm going straight from C25K I might adjust the first couple of weeks so I'm running continuously.

There's the B210K podcasts too. If you search on this site there's a link. I just graduated and am going to use 1 of these a week, then 1 f25k+ and then 1 run for fun.
