I'm a recent c25k graduate and am running 5k 3 x a week. I have done 2 park runs so far at 38 min and 36 min.

My friend ( who runs marathons) wants us to enter a 10k in 6 weeks time. I've had a look online at training schedules by they all are 4-5 x a week and I can only do 3 runs a week.

Any advice on how I can prepare?

I'm a c25k graduate and I'm now doing a bridge to 10k using an app and it is a 6 weeks one like ifink. It by Bluefin software and only cost a couple of quid.

What's even more amazing is that I enjoyed it, ran round waving at little kids and generally had fun!

All that training paid off, i beat all my PBs too.did 5k in 32min, 8k in 50. I think I did the 10k in 1.13 but final times published tomorrow.

So happy. Thank you all for all your great advice and encouragement.
