One Hour Runner (OHR)

After completing the Couch 2 5K (C25K) running programme, I went straight onto the 10 week One Hour Runner (OHR) programme.  

The schedule which I can't seem to find any more, perhaps its fallen out of favour compared with the plethora of other programmes available out there at the moment which are more geared towards completing 10k i.e. Bridge to 10k (B210k) as opposed to being able to run for one hour, which is just under 10k for me at the moment, so back when I did the programme is was more like 8 or 9k in an hour.


However, the main thing to take away from this is to follow a programme which best fits your style i.e. what works for you and as OHR continued the trend of running 3 times a week and started where C25k ended i.e. 30 minute runs it best suited what I was used to at that point.  The OHR plan consists of the following:
