Hey Guys, I'm a newbie here. Took me a bit to figure out how to even find the latest msgs, that's how much of a newbie I am! Ok so which app are you guys using? I can't find one called, "Bridge to 10k". When I search it, I get one that has a similar logo but it doesn't say, "bridge...". Any guidance on this?
I just finished my W7 D3 on my C25K regime. I need to get to my 5k gola without any stopping! Almost there and trying to look ahead to the next goal.
I use RunDouble. If you purchase the full app, it comes with a C25k, 5 to 10k, a half plan and some improver plans.1 -
Hi Y'all!
Well, today was the day. High humidity, but the temps were at 55F. Comfy! Week 9 day 1 is done!

Was a beautiful morning to complete Week 9 Day 2!3

I ran my first run in a Week due to numerous stressful life events. Did 40 minutes, still have 3 runs left and my 10K is scheduled for next weekend. I hope life calms down by then and that I feel more prepared.3

@LilGigi05 the app I found is the next step up from Couch to 5K. It is by Active and is called the 5Kto10K app, I believe. It looks the same as Couch to 5K and runs on the same principle. I like it.

Ran again today, the last speed work run in the app and I guess it is working. I had my best pace yet according to the app.

@woodwardtm -- great job! Looking forward to hearing how your race goes!
I'm still trying to pick out some 5K/10K races for the summer and might look at another HM this fall (November). Today I had a good 6 mile run at 8:41/mile pace.3 -

That is an awesome pace! I am nowhere near that nor do I see it in my future. I am going to set my 10K goal way out so that I don't pressure myself to go too fast and then die at the end.2 -

I use that one too. I like to use the custom run using distance instead of time. I'm going to start the Hal Higdon HM program soon. I've been a ghost around here with bad weather and a month where both my wife and I spent a lot of time out of town for work.3 -
Zenlabs: Week 10 day 2 done!4
-
So after the difficulties at the beginning of the year I ran the Ox 12 hour on Saturday.
A 10km loop on a tough trail route with some lovely technical descents, and challenging climbs. I limited myself to a 43km distance as I then had the Dark Ox 10K that night as well.

Awesome. I started my half marathon training today. A 3 miler with warm ups and cool downs. I cheated and did a 5k since 3 miles is so close to one. So HHHM W1D1 is done.3 -
10k TRAINING IS COMPLETE! My race is scheduled for Saturday and, of course, it is supposed to rain. I am a fair weather runner so the idea of it doesn't excite me.
4 -
@MeanderingMammal -- awesome hardware as always! Sounds like a great event!
@upsaluki -- looking forward to tracking your progress. Do you have a HM race event in mind and if so, how far out is it?
@woodwardtm -- awesome on completing the training! Drat, I'm not a fan of running in the rain either... cold, fine, but not a fan of getting wet. However, don't worry yet, there is still time for it to change. There was a 90% chance of rain for my Sat race a few weeks ago all the way up through Fri, but ended up just being overcast. Hoping for good weather for you!1 -
@woodwardtm -- I don't mind snow, but I hate rain. I'm too addicted to using my phone and bluetooth headphones.
@rusgolden No race is scheduled near the end date. I just do so much better when I'm following a training plan, so I decided to start it. I do have a few that are scheduled in early fall where I'd like to do one. Hopefully I can find a 10 k or two to do in the meantime.
PS So HHHM W1D2 is done.4 -
Yeah, guys, I don't mind the cold either but cold and wet will not be a good time. Our mornings have been in the 30's and 40's here, rain on top of that will be miserable. I am not even sure how I will dress. Ugh... 0

Yeah, that doesn't sound like much fun, but still holding out hope for better weather than they are predicting. As far as what to wear... for me, I would probably wear my long base layer (warm and moisture wicking) with either shorts or my joggers (lightweight and water resistant) on bottom and either tech t-shirt or lightweight water resistant jacket... the decision on those would depend on how heavy it was going to be raining. I prefer to dress a little warmer than a lot of runners, but that's me.
In any case, good luck!!0 -
@upsaluki -- I agree, much easier to use a training plan... I feel like I'm in limbo right now. I stretched out my 12 week plan into about 16 weeks... repeated a couple and took it a bit easier when I ran a couple of races before the HM and also took a week off when I had a flare up with my calf.0
-
@rusgolden and @upsaluki, I also am afraid of floundering without a training plan. I do not plan to stretch into the HM plans. I just don't have the time with all that is going on at home. I may re-do some of the 10K plan just so I have an active plan to follow. I fear I will slack off without one.0

HHHM2 W1D3 done. My long run is tomorrow.2
-
I did it, guys! I ran my 10K this morning in 47 degree temps and a light drizzling rain. I did much better than I expected. I always push harder on race day because I have that competitive streak still buried down inside me. My chip time was 1:01:10.3

Awesome Job! It's nice to run a race after all that training.0 -
I was able to sneak in my HHHM2 W1D4 run. It was touch and go with a busy weekend. Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.2
