No PB for me today I'm afraid! Ran my 10k (1:04:15) but found it really tough! Had to take a couple of walk breaks to get my breath during the first half, and although the second 5k was easier, I was still so glad to hear Runkeeper tell me when I had reached 10k! Don't know if it was the heat (it felt really warm), me just being over a cold, or that it has been a tricky week emotionally for me, but this was a toughie! Hey, ho - no such thing as a BAD run I guess!🙂
My 10k in the sunshine ☀️ felt so...hard!😮 - Bridge to 10K

That is still a good 10k in a good time Sandra definitely not a bad run
and after a difficult week pretty impressive
they all count .

Well done Sandra!its definitely harder when its sunny, still an excellent time😊hope things get a bit easier this week .....
If every run was a personal best you'd have to be running in minus figures before too long. That still sounds like a marvelous time to me, and it all adds up in terms of strength/stamina building doesn't it? I hope the rest of your week goes better than the earlier part.

It was warm. Even first thing this morning I didn't miss my gloves!

That's a great time Sandra especially if you weren't feeling the love. It's all miles on the legs which is the main thing.

They all count Sandra - it's a great time regardless. Keep at it and you'll be under 1 hour in no time at all
John
Thanks John, I like a goal☺ and really hope to go under an hour at some point!
Just keep going - your 5k time is a good indicator. Bring that down and the 10k will come down with it. Intervals, intervals, intervals!
Hand on heart John, I have never used intervals😮! I know the Speed podcast is available to download. Should I use this or is there another way to plan my own interval training?
Do you have access to treadmill?
I hate treadmills! But seriously, no, I really prefer to be outside!
Fair enough, you're not the only one. I do all my intervals on a treadmill so for outdoors, ID recommend either
(1) the Speed podcast - but the BPM/foot strike/cadence may be too slow, so design your own based on it, or
(2) the one recommended by ju-ju- - the 30-20-10. There's an mp3 available somewhere, JJ can direct you to it
Thank you John, that is really helpful and I'm definately going to look at including some interval training in my running🙂

This is it, and if you have a garmin you can programme it in
And ooooooo tagging!!!!
Fab jj. I have just had a read. Don't have a Garmin but have downloaded a little app called 'Run 10-20-30' to do my counting! I remember you recommending this recently and an keen to give it a go. ☺
Someone had posted an mp3 for 30-20-10 ... Let me see if I can find it or even upload it for you...
Yeah... Tagging!
Did you get some PB's? John_W I couldn't see your post on here?
My tagging didn't work 😢
John_W
PBs you say? I surely did
Tagging: type @username but wait for the drop down menu to appear - takes a moment .
Well done!! John_W 🤘🏼
Bingo
OK - even on my laptop, I'm struggling to tag you JJ - think it's to do with the lower-case juicy - consider changing it maybe? Big ask I know...
Are you tagging me on here? Im not in C25k anymore as I felt I should leave that for new people and focus on my marathon blog!!
Ah ha - that's the answer - yes, I can tag if I make a post in your Marathon community. OK, panic over - anyway, here's my PB post - probs better suited to Bridge To 10K page tbh, but whatevs: healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Precisely- as long as you get out there, that's a good run! It was really warm here today too, I think I need to start taking a bigger water bottle with me as I'd drunk nearly all my water about half way through my run today!

Don't underestimate how your emotions effect a run. If I'm not strong emotionally I just flag... It's really important. Well done you that is a great time 😎

Well, it was a run and you did it, so it's all good! Sorry you've had a tough week though. Given that, and that you've not been feeling well, and that it was warm, this actually looks like you did really well - congratulations on doing it

Well done for sticking with it when it felt tough. Some days, runs are just not good - for some reason, we're just not 'feeling it'. Don't over-think it - just draw a line under it and just go again on your next run.

Well done, girl. You walked parts of it and you still had 10k done and dusted in 1h4 minutes? I'd say that if that's a bad day, then you can be well proud of yourself
