LOL, good work, Di!
I've now seen quite a few different 10k plans, and think that one is great.
I did 5.3 km on Monday and 4.1 km this morning. I can feel it in my hip a bit now, so no running till parkrun on Saturday.
I've signed up for an 8.6 km funrun on Saturday 27 February... eek!
I expect I'll have to walk a couple of kms of it.
But I did a 10 km funrun in October, and walked a hell of a lot of that, so walking won't worry me.
It's the "fun" part that matters!0 -
OMG....phew, mind you, with all those steps you do daily, you should walk it lol, sorry for the pun...I am sure you will do fine, It always surprises me, even with pain, you just say just a bit longer and keep going and just run through it - don't you! phew?0

I did it! I ran the full 8.6 km! So happy!
Di will have seen my short recap on FB so I'll spare her from my repeating it.
This now suddenly puts me at the end of the penultimate week of Hal Higdon's novice 10 km plan.
The plan says my next long run should be 10 km!
I might try to do that Monday 7 March.
I thought about repeating the 8.6 km distance, but the course was so hilly, and the temperature quite high (25 Celsius), that I think it was more than sufficient the first time. I should be fine at 7-8 am and on the flat when I normally run.0 -

I did see your pics on fb
may I say a hearty congrats!!! I would never tire of hearing it...repeat again if you like!!!
I managed 6.5km today, I am at week 4 today and really happy with my progress - finally no pain....very slow although I am very happy to increase time once I am up there. At the moment it is the distance I want to achieve then build on time, which seems to be gradually getting a little better week by week all on its own...
Great stuff and good luck with the 10km run....whoop whoop!!
Just a thought what is your plan after your 10k run...do you have a plan? perhaps drop down again to a little less perhaps week 7 or 8 and rebuild, I must admit I really like the varied runs during the week!!

Thank you, lovely people!
I probably should make a plan for after 10K. My first thought is 15K, but I haven't set it in stone.
Well done on 6.5 km, Di! That's great, and yay for having no pain! Lucky us to be over our injuries!0 -
I still have my x-ray to come back, I have in my head that it wasn't the knee anyway, which Is what I told the doc that my physio said it was needing to lengthen my hamstring and lobiatial band, so what does he do....x-ray my knee lol...argh well.
Great plan to increase to 15k, I will not be with you on that one, if I did I would wait until I retired as I do not physically have the time!! I also think as I am 10yrs older than you, that just increasing speed, elevation and intensity is the way to help my heart health, by doing that Hal Hallinger style by varying what I do 3 times a week.
But way to go you and good luck 0 -
I ran 10 km!
So happy today!

10k In the bag Orphia, I got to 8k and was determined not to stop....I feel quite good right now, considering the weight this body has to lug around!!!0

I ran 10 km again today. Last Sunday was not a fluke!0
-
lol probably not lol....It was just such a nice park I thought I may as well get on with it and get the job done lol...I now have in mind to slice chunks of time from my 5km runs then when I feel I am consistently, much quicker I will then increase again up to 10km...now I know I can do 10km.
It's like in my head, to run is almost just a mind set...but to run quicker or elevated is more about fitness. Good luck with your next goal.0
