Good Luck Sandra - are you following a training plan? I was following one which I found on the Zest Magazine website, found it easy to follow and stick to. I did the Windsor 8K last month - it was first ever running race and I loved it - I was nervous at first but once I got going, the atmosphere carried me! There's a couple of 10ks around Richmond this month which I might try and get in for!

Here's links to two R4W 10k training plans - hope they're useful and let us know if you need any more 10k training information.

I'm doing the Abbey Dash aswell Sandra.. Eek!! 

Thanks Kate, I am looking forward to it (I think). Great Julie hope you have a good time. 

Not following a training plan really, try to run 3 to 4 miles three times on weekdays then do 5 to 6 miles on Saturday or Sunday. 

Abbey dash 10K done! First ever 10k for me, loved it! Cold but sunny, was a great atmospher and completed it in 55mins 17 secs a PB

Well done Sandra! You must feel really pleased with yourself. Have recovered enough to start thinking about your next race?

already started looking! was a real buzz

Hi Sandra,

that is really impressive for your first race. I did not break 60 minutes in my first 10k!
