Has your running got a bit… boring? Looking for a fitness boost ready for our September 10K Course? Aiming for a 5K PB this summer?

We’ve cooked up a new training plan for you. It’s Round 8 of the Bridge to 10K series - Jump! Jump!

Yep, Kriss Kross were onto something back in the early 90s. Jumping drills are a kickass addition to your running toolkit. Vertical jumps, sagittal jumps, double foot hops, single-legged jumps… Coach Julia always recommends adding these to your workouts to stimulate your fast twitch muscle fibres. With practice and consistency your muscles and tendons will get stronger and you’ll find an extra zing in your running step.

What’s Bridge to 10K again?

Bridge to 10K is our series of downloadable self-paced training plans at the 5K level. They’re a great way to add variety and focus to your running, whether you’re happy to stick with the 5K distance or looking for a “bridge” between the Up & Running 5K and 10K e-courses. The downloads are non-sequential, so you can mix and match your training and never get bored!
