Well I ran all the way in under 35 mins, which was my goal Grin

I wasn't aware there was a mahoosive hill though - nearly killed me.

But v proud for not walking.

Well done you Grin I love that feeling of achievement. Now you need to set yourself another target so you keep going Wink.

Put your feet up and enjoy a Wine tonight.

I intend to Wink

How long does it take to work up to 10k? Another 10 weeks. I can't seem to find equivalent app.

Now you're up and running I should think 8 to 10 weeks would get you up to 10 k. I'm not sure about apps but Runners World has good training plans. Also Paula Radcliffe's book How to Run has good training plans from 5k up to a marathon. I followed them after DS was born and they worked for me.

Good luck!
