1st week of increasing distance from 10k, on way to 16k+  or 10 miles, felt a little tougher in a couple of km's but overall , not to shabby

Weather wasn't brilliant more like Autumn than spring. 

As buzzlightyear says "to infinity and beyond" as that is what it feels like 10 miles ???? That is like travelling to another universe 😊

Congratulations Rob! That's a pretty decent time for 12.1k as well.  I'm also thinking of doing this after my 1st ever road race tomorrow ... get that out of the way and then extend distance. It all helps :-)

I look forward to seeing how you get on :-)

Well done again.

John

Well done Rob!  keep it up! I have a couple of 10k events in May, after which I am tempted to see how the other side of 10k feels. 😮

in reply to Sandraj39

Thanks Sandra ☺am signed up for a 10k in June ☺hopefully my 1st bling ☺

Definitely worth exploring beyond 10k , my mind is slowly drifting towards HM , we have 1 in october , tempting lol

Wow... and I look at 10K... like it is something from Fiction :)

Great run :)

in reply to Oldfloss

When I started out 10 meters was like marathon, I only ever walked to the car, my bad ! 

Everything is possible Oldfloss  😊

Yippee!  I too am working my way from 10k to 10 miles. It's been a long journey but I think I'm only a month or so away (taking it very steady). You're right - it does get you thinking about HM.  GOOD LUCK ☺

in reply to goonkeepgoing

Good luck with yours to goonkeepgoing  , long journeys are more rewarding on reaching your destination 😊

Steady is the best way , I reckon about another 8-11 weeks for me ☺

Well done, you're really getting those miles under your belt! You really should drop the "slow_rob" now 😁

in reply to AndyD

Hey Andy ☺I don't think I would be the same without the slow.

When I look at the distance on a map, I still think I can't do that !

Yeah your probably right Mr Slow 😀 Glad that you're enjoying the longer distances, does wonders for your 5ks as well. 

in reply to AndyD

Staying away from 5k times.... for now lol
