I CANNOT believe that I can run 10k, having started C25K at the beginning of 2020. I think I've done 4 now, and I'm delighted & ridiculously pleased with myself. I almost packed it in at the start, because I thought my wonky hip would rebel, but the running has actually helped it! Now I'm doing a 10k roughly once a week with 2 other shorter runs of about 5-7k (get me) on the other 2 days. I'm still slower than an arthritic snail but I wanted to ask, since I'm not too fussed about getting much faster (I suspect that really would mess with said hip) , what an appropriate next milestone would be? 10 miles maybe? I feel on a good day as if I could just keep going, so I need to train properly, take my time and not be too ambitious. I would absolutely love to manage a half marathon distance ultimately. Then I think I'd get a tattoo (yes, a reason and a design I think I could live with π). Can anyone recommend a training programme/app? Thanks in advance to all. (P.s. have also signed up for LEJOG5).

Just like getting from running 5K to 10K you could gradually increase your runs to 16K/10 miles by increasing by 1 Kilometre a week until you get to 16K., that is the way I got from 10K to 16K.
Thanks! I'm in no rush right enough (& I see there is a 10 mile badge π€π). So far I'm hoping to just keep plugging away at it until I get there. I did 10.5k yesterday, so onwards & upwards I guess !
