Well done! What program are you following tho? As I thought c25k was only 6 weeks x

Hi welshtiger I think it is called running mate. I thought it was nine weeks but it is only eight. Totally confused. Anyway they also do a 10k plan. Thought I might try that. Have you done that kind of distance you seem to have been running for a while?

Ah right, my bad, was getting confused with b210k, thats 6weeks!! I have run 10.4k a few months back, but due to problems with work, and the dark nights, I've not done a long run since. Am due to start a new job soon, so am planning on doing this app again, at a faster pace to build myself back up-but might aim to do it more often than3 times a week x

Ok thanks. Good luck with new job hope all goes well. I am really looking forward to some nice weather its been baltic here. I am sure it will be more pleasant running when it is a little brighter and warmer. We'll see
