Hi there. My nameβs Serena and I started running in April this year with the C25K plan. I graduated in July and intended to consolidate but fell into the B210K plan lol and graduated on 19th August. Iβve run a couple of 5kβs and one more 10k since then which Iβve found really comfortable (both 10kβs ran in EXACTLY the same time 1:04:33 - spooky!).
My question is where do I go from here? I have entered the Bath Half in March next year (I signed up right at the start of my running as I like to have a goal!) but I am conscious of doing too much too soon as I think I have progressed quite quickly up to now. Do I simply consolidate my 10kβs and a couple of shorter, maybe faster 5kβs each week for a few weeks (PB is currently 30:46) before trying to increase my long-run distance?
Any advice greatly received πππββοΈ..
Hello there!!! An enormous, feisty, audacious, thinking-big welcome to the forum!!!
Ambitious is good, and you have oodles of time to prepare yourself for the Bathalf π Running some more 10Ks and adding in some faster runs sounds like a great idea to me! Get planning your new longer routes, and have fun increasing your distances over the winter π
Thanks for the lovely welcome π. Looking forward to the longer runs and itβs good to hear Iβm not on the wrong path with regards to my training. Iβm looking forward to running in cooler weather (I may regret saying that lol!) ππ
It's lovely to have you!
Oof yes, the Beast from the East caused much strife last winter π€§ Hoping that won't happen this time! But you definitely need to consider layering options for the colder weather π
btw, that IS spooky!!
