I'm a fairly new runner who just completed my first 4k race. My goals now are to a) finish a 5k in three weeks with a slightly improved pace, and b) to complete a 10k with no walking by the end of August (about 6 weeks from now).

I finished the c25k program and am now on Week 2 of the  Bridge-to-10k program. Interval training is definitely something that works for me. Does anyone have any advice about how to incorporate strength and cross training into this program? During c25k, I did 60 minutes of circuit training on my off days with one rest day per week, but I think that may be a bit much now that I'm spending considerably more time on my runs. Would love some advice from a more seasoned runner! My thoughts are:

Day 1 - B2-10k run

Day 2 - Stretch & strength

Day 3 - B2-10k run

Day 4 - Cross (30 - 60 min)

Day 5 - B2-10k run

Day 6 - Stretch & strength

Day 7 - Rest

Thanks for your help!
