Crossing the bridge from 5 to 10K

Good luck silver just take tiny fairy steps up the hills and you'll be at the top before u know it that's my top tip. Why no head phones ? X

Walk the hills if you need to, Silver. Good luck & let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the good wishes for today's race!

I'm nervous - although I have Agnes to run 10K in my training it was on the flat and with music. There's no earphones today and lots of hills! I've been sponsored over £500 to raise funds for our village church so that should help me plod along!

Oops, link fail. It's the panache under wire sports bra with racer back clip.

For bigger gg boobs, Women's Full Cup Plain Sports Bra, Grey, Size: 32E [[www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005X5GUYM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Sg-8ybK1WQH2C?tag=mumsnetforum-21 panache]] is brilliant. It's tight on the band but almost zero bounce. Certainly worked for my 6k this evening

Good luck with tomorrow's race, silver!

I'm much bigger than D and wear £40 shock absorber on its own now and find it's ok. I have also worn granny style crossover bra with a less compressive sports bra over the top but found the band part rubbed too much. You can get this anti bounce band thing as well which sits across but I've not tried it but someone on the other thread linked it for me when I was struggling to find the right support.

Hope the Easter 10ks went well for those out today. I didn't run as it was too hilly here but did walk 5miles up/down today and yesterday instead

Don't need a normal bra as well.

Possum do u wear a bra under it? I'm a d also and they absolutely kill if I don't wear bra under my current one x

I'm out in the south west.

I'm also considerably bigger than a D cup (one reason why I've never run until now). I went into Bravissimo to try on sports bras and came out with this. It's fierce - so much lycra that I can't do it up behind my back - but works. Until now I used to wear a sports bra over a normal bra, but this does the job on its own and nothing moves.

I did a v slow 5.2 k on Friday. Was going to go out this morning but have had a terrible night's sleep, so will go tomorrow instead. Then it's a few days in Paris, so no running at all!

I'm a d cup and have this bra. bra

Controls my norks ok.

I'm in London. Don't know on sports bras, I'm small enough I haven't bothered with them so far.

I wonder if any of you live near me

Thanku :) 4.8k 33min not too shabby! A week today .. I'm scared why Isit that I wish it was doing it with all you strangers instead ?!

Random question but do any of you wear a bra under your sports bra or can recommend a good sports bra that you can wear alone ? X

Second best time so yes!

I'm going to do a 10K on Easter Monday & see if it's made a difference.

Did it help though empress? I quite enjoyed it plodding along saying 1-2-3-4 in my head the lady seemed to kick in with her technique tips each time just as I was flagging
Hope the new routes are good littlemiss and you feel settled in your new home soon.

Bloody hell that podcast is tough! Doing the final 2k downhill is a great idea. I finished it sweating buckets and clashing violently with my bright pink top.

The tips on technique were useful, especially the ones about moving feet in a cycling motion & doing short quick steps.

Miss, I use an app called New Route to plan routes out on maps and save them. I have a whole library of them now!

We moved house yest so I am shattered! Going to definitely run sat or sun find a new route from new house and about 7k on mon with the person I'm doing the 10k with next weekend argh!

I'm going to try the stamina podcast tomorrow. Have fun camping!

Good luck silver for your race Monday

Did another 5k stamina session today which was really good. First 2k is slightly uphill, I was running well with pace on the podcast but got a flipping stitch which I had to stop 3x for 30sec walks to clear. I think the combination of uphill gradient & pace did it. But I gained back my time with the 2k sprint downhill so did a sub 33min 5k which after super tiring few days with the kids I was pleased with. I've gone back to doing a 10min/1k walking up hill warmup which is helping to make the running a lot easier. I used to try running up that hill but it was knackering start to the run if I go straight from home.

How's everyone else doing? We've going away for the wend (camping ) but I'm packing my running kit so I can try somewhere new to run & to keep warm

Thanks everyone it's definitely addictive x

I love the buzz from running!

That's a great theory empress even had me googling local 10ks this morning and I found one in mid-June so I'm mulling it over. Gd luck littlemiss I'm sure the supporters will pull you through the last bit. I did my first 100k bike ride 4yrs ago having only got upto about 65k in training and it wasn't easy but I did it and the following year it was so much easier not from more training (I always struggle with the time for it) but just knowning I could do it
I can't decide whether to train for that ride again or do the 10k run. My body prefers cycling less impact but fitting in four hour training rides to get the miles in is the main challenge. But I do burn more calories & lose more weight cycling as I think I sit in the fat burning zone a lot longer than running which I'm losing no weight what's so ever just toning a little. The buzz from running is better though

A long way back now I was nervous about trying to do 20 minutes and AnnettePrice said something very similar. And it worked!

When's yours again, Kanye?

I agree with Empress, littlemiss, you'll be absolutely fine for 10k if you can do 8. It's just about keeping going once you get to 8, and the atmosphere on the day really helps can you tell I'm psyching myself up for mine??
