Training for a 10K!
I've decided I want to try a 10k race (not that I'll be racing, just finish). I used to run as a teenager and I need to get exercising again, and this seemed like a good way to do it with a monster payoff at the end when I complete my first 10k race.
I did a search of my area and found one that is Thursday, July 22nd, 2004. Then I found a 25 week complete beginner to 10k training guide on the internet. I'm a little short on time, I've only got 23 weeks, but the first two weeks were easy enough (walking 20 minutes every other day)and I know I would have handled them easily, so I'm jumping in at the 3rd week. I'm really excited, I'm looking forward to doing this. I'm going to add some weight training too, just so that I can firm up as I go along. I'm hoping that the walking/running and the weight training will keep my weight loss going at a decent rate. I'd really love to lose another 50 lbs in these next 23 weeks. Valerie |
Good on you..I did a 13 week program a couple years ago... it is really good...I finished jog/walking the 10k in a pretty good time (for a 250pd) women...IT is great with the interval training.... Good Luck and I'll let you know the feeling at the end, the accomplishment is totally worth it!!

I really admire your determination to do a race. It has always been a fantasy of mine and it sure isn't going to happen this year. Let us know how your training goes! What a terrific amazing goal! Orchid

Valerie - we have a 10K challenge thread on the go right now....you are more than welcome to step in anytime. The program we are following is a 13 week one. In the early post I had posted the link for the program - if you go that site there they also have a two different running programs.
Would be good to have you along.... |
Wow, Teresa, thanks! That's a great idea, I will go over there right now!
And thanks for the support everyone! I'm looking forward to doing this. Valerie |
