Could I be ready for a March 10k?

[ohgillian]

I run an average of 3 times per week for about 2-3 miles. Could I be ready for a 10k in March?

ETA: My longest runs have been about 3.5 miles.

[runaways]

I think definitely yes.

[gt7301b]

Yes, you could run a 10k tomorrow:) You are running more now than a lot of people who run 10ks. Sign up.

[Susie]

Yes, definitely. Much sooner than March if you wanted to.

[finallykrisb]

Absolutely!

[ohgillian]

Thanks! I just went and looked at the last year's results and was pretty dismayed at how fast the people are. :/ The worst pace was 11 something, whereas my best 5k was at a 12 something pace.

[jene]

Yes!

[trigal]

Definitely! Do it! 10K is a great distance!

Dead last is better than "did not finish" which is infinitely better than "did not start"!

[water*drop]

Yes, definitely! You'll do great!

[archaeominx]

You can definitely be ready! And don't stress about your pace, you have to start somewhere.

You are pretty much exactly where I am right now, and I'm signed up for the Best Damn (10K) Race on March 1. Go us!

[skwcm80]

Definitely!!

[secretlyevil]

Absolutely

Thanks, everyone. Yikes. I'm not quite ready to register, but I will keep up with the 10k training plan I've been doing with this as a goal.

I'm just finishing up C25K, and am about to transition to this program I found on ask.com. Lol.

Awesome -- that pretty much is where I am too, like you said. The 10k program I'm in says that from where I'm starting, I'll be running 60 minutes straight in 4 weeks. To that I say "hahahhahahhahahahaha!" but I guess I won't know unless I try it...
