And the Parkrun in particular, is a very good example. The one thing that I would look at though, which I feel is quite important, is that 5km is such a doable number for even quite unfit people.
That run you would still incorporate some walking in it, as you felt you needed it. Your longest run of the week, wherever that may be, on the weekend or the middle of the week. But to keep that time fixed and then to gradually reduce the amount of walking that you are doing in there. Getting to your first 5km, there was probably a lot of run/walking involved, so I wouldn't look too much to increase the time necessarily that you are training. Focus on training or changing in the short term. The rest of your runs could probably stay very much the same if you're running between 20 and 30 minutes, or run/walking between 20 and 30 minutes. A couple of minutes a week, probably 2 to 3 minutes a week, added to your longest run of the week. So, in terms of the practicalities of it, it would require a very gradual increase. Perhaps it will take some walk breaks, but it wouldn't be that comfortable a step up. It probably means that your body is physically ready to do a 10km. LINDSAY PARRY: The physical aspect to it is, if you've trained and prepared for a 5km run and you're running a couple of times a week. They've done the odd Parkrun and now they want to go on and set a couple of bigger goals. Talk us through that process of somebody that's wanting to make that step up. It's double the distance that someone has done up until now. It's a fairly simple process on the technical side of things, but it can be daunting. The step up from a Parkrun to bigger goals That's what I wanted to chat to you about today.
A 5km for all intents and purposes, up to your very first 10km. Lindsay, one of the questions we get asked a lot is how to make the move up from running a Parkrun. I'm Brad Brown, we've got Lindsay Parry with us. BRAD BROWN: Welcome onto Run with Coach Parry.
