Distance over speed ๐Ÿ˜€

Having graduated C25K a while back, I thought I'd stick to improving my 5K time, but I have been lurking here and reading about your super achievements :-) and I got tempted to see how far I could run.

I did run 6:5K a couple of weeks back and loved it so I decided to go out this morning and see what I could do...

Well I ran all the way to the next village and back! The weather was perfect, the birds singing, the country lanes empty, what's not to like?

9:5K in 1 hour 4 seconds. I only stopped because I'd got back home!!

I started C25K mid April and couldn't run 30 seconds. Today, 10k is within my reach, that blows my mind....

Happy running everyone ๐Ÿ˜Xx

Hi Bisciut... wow thats a great run this morning..๐Ÿ˜Š

Distance feels better than speed doesn't it...but you are pretty quick too I think.๐Ÿ˜‰

Lovely to hear from you again. Super acheivement from you. RFC and Poppy may need to get a 10k badge ready for you.

I'd always go for distance over speed, but that's just me!

Well done!

Well done! I only get some real speed up when running downhill,but even then start to hold back in case I trip up. You could probably go 10k & beyond now, but first things first, get that 10k badge!๐Ÿ˜Š
