Moving On Up to your next running milestone—whether stepping from 5k to 10k, 10k to Half Marathon, or Half Marathon to Marathon—requires a structured approach to safely adapt you to the next big milestone on your running journey.
Redway Runners can support you with this journey
- Moving On Up from 5k to 10k (6.2 miles) is widely considered the single most effective milestone in distance running. It doubles your distance, forcing changes, without demanding the heavy training hours or intense recovery required for half marathons.
- Moving On Up to a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) is often considered the “sweet spot” of distance running. It provides a meaningful endurance challenge without the extreme recovery demands of a full marathon.
- Stepping up from the half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) to the full marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km) isn’t just doubling the distance—it completely transforms the nature of the challenge. Where the half marathon tests your speed and high-level aerobic fitness, the full marathon is an endurance epic that tests physical resilience, metabolic efficiency, and mental grit.
With each course you will run with like minded people all working towards the same goal.
It will be a challenge, but nothing worth achieving comes easily, but with our proven courses Redway Runners are here to help you.
At the end of the course we will have chosen event to focus towards.
