runners... is this possible?

Race day you're going to be pumped up. Just keep a good pace that you are comfortable in and just go. You'll probably surprise yourself. Alot of it is mental.

Absolutely!! I went from 3 to 13 in about three and a half months! Best of luck!!

2 months = very possible to add 2 more miles to your running. GL!

RAFValentina

I did it... so can you... just get yourself out running as much as poss... to be fair, 10km is only about 2 more miles than your max run at the mo, so probably an extra 10-15 minutes running. Just try and push yourself each time to run 0.5Km or 0.5m more...whatever you work in. Make sure you deal with niggles as they come, but as 10Km isnt a long run, you should be fine anyway.

sprinkies

for sure you can, i increase my miles by 1 each week (training for a half marathon and then a full). you can far surpass 6.4 by that time

BobbyDaniel

You have plenty of time! In two months you can probably be well past 6.2 with the foundation you have.

RAFValentina

You'll be fine.

FWIW - I reject that 10% rule. I say listen to your body instead. People throw it around like it is some sort of guarantee or something. The truth is you might be able to jump for 4 to 5 miles with no problem or you could get injured going from 4 to 4.25.

Either way, good luck and have fun!

This.

Totally doable. I just finished a half marathon on Sunday and the longest I had ever run was 7 miles. You have run 2/3 of a 10K already. A 10K is 6.2 miles so you are almost there already.

Yes. You can do it. Check out some of the training guides at Runners World, increase distance slowly. You will be just fine! Mind over matter, lady Try to incorporate one long run a week.
