2nd time around

Ran 2 nd 10k 1st thing this morning , trying to beat the storm and stronger winds , which was a good call as the winds are gusting much stronger now.

This was very much a no frills steady run , the legs getting used to the longer distances now, will do another 10k next Saturday all being well  then after a cut back week look to do 11.5 - 12 the following week, all going To plan so far.

10 miles really doesn't seem scary now , just got to sort out hydration and fuel for these longer ones. 

The time today was 1 hour 9 min's average pace 6:50 per km ,which is ok for me  

To top it off now bang on 25% of target for my targot of 750km for the year . Happy happy days

Well done Rob.. great time as well, you should be rightly chuffed with that

[Hidden in reply to AndyD]

Hey Andy very happy with how it is going this year

I have followed your lead and been concentrating on distance and endurance as it has worked so well for you  

It is working for me now putting the miles in  

Maybe there is a HM in me lol 

[AndyD Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Certainly a HM in you!! Glad you're enjoying putting in those extra miles, I've always enjoyed being "out there" for longer.

I'm doing another one next Sunday, so tapering a bit for the next week. Although my HM's are pretty slow and not too pretty, I do enjoy having a target to train towards.

[Hidden in reply to AndyD]

I am very impressed with your HM's Andy all power to you

Who would have thought it when we started out we would be running these distances  

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done Rob, another good run and it sounds like it is all going to plan! Do you have a 10 mile race that you are aiming for?

[Hidden in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks Sandra :)! No specific 10 mile race just the next goal probably on way to HM distance , Hung to do a10k in June locally with a friend from work
