10k charity run
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:52 pm
Hello all
I only have 4 runs left of this programme and am desperate to have another goal to focus on.
I've therefore entered a 10k charity run in Greenwich, South East London at the end of November.
In truth, it has come a little too soon for me (5 weeks today), but it's not a race, it's a run so am fairly sure I will be ok.
So my question is, in a weeks time, when I have finished Couch to 5k (I followed the programme strictly) what's the best training plan to follow?
I was thinking of spending the 4 weeks as follows :
First 3 weeks, run 30 minutes (maybe increasing the odd run to 35 minutes if I feel ok and have time)
Last week before the race - rest and eat well.
Then hope that the fact that I will have ran several 5ks, coupled with the adrenaline of running an organised 10k race gets me through.
Or is that fool hardy?
Any tips gratefully received.
Regards,
Andrew
