Consistency

23 Replies

Well 3rd 10k completed this morning in 1 hour 7mins 09 secs, all splits under 7min per km,  final km in 6 min 28... 

Liking the longer runs , yeah would like to faster but for now consistency is my middle name :) 

Next step is going to be 12k after a cut back recovery week , still having to occasionally pinch myself at running the distance and duration :)

That's brilliant Rob! A fab time and a 6.28 split! You're on a roll. And methinks consistency is perfect.

Really well done! And thanks for your comment on my post. I think I'll try to get at least one 10k until my belt before my race :-) Would be good to know that I've been able to do it twice over.
