Well Golly where did that come from?

Hi all did an 'Irish John' today.

Went out for a gentle 5k on my ASICS plan and ended up doing 10k!!!

Got into it quite quickly and felt good after 3k and as the sun was shining I was really enjoying it - Got to 5k thought I'd just carry on as next week I have 7k to do as part of my plan.

Got to the 7k mark and thought could I do the 10? Why not?

Mental check, breathing check and all seemed well so just plodded on and completed the 10k in 1hr 10m and average of 7.01m per K

Legs feel heavy now but celebrating with a beer!!!

Cheers

Rocks

I believe that if any runner can get to 7K they can get to 10K and you've just proved this!

Well done to you. The first 10K is a great feeling and I bet that beer tasted brilliant 😋

[Rockshammer in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks I completed 10k back in 2012 season a couple of time but I'm now 5 years older so I'm very pleased!!!!!

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Rockshammer]

Oh blimey, you're a pro!

[Rockshammer in reply to Irishprincess]

Not quite!!!! But thanks anyway!!!!

[Simmypie Graduate10]

Yesterday was brilliant for running wasn't it. Will you carry on your training plan It's good to make sure you can really do 10k, so maybe carrying on as you were would help to consolidate it

[Rockshammer in reply to Hidden]

That's the plan and yes yesterday was superb!!!!

[Net68 Graduate10]

Well done! That's amazing 👟

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

Excellent! That first 10K is very special. Your time was not too bad either *envious gnashing of teeth*

[davelinks Graduate10]

Well done! Yes, I believe it to, if you can get to 7km you'll go to 10km.. that's also what I did..

[Irish-John Graduate10]

Great run, great time. Congratulations 10k Runner!!

("Doing an Irish John" sounds a bit naughty though ;))

[Rockshammer in reply to Irish-John]

Cheers John - Apologies if it does sound rude!!! So excited though and did a gentle 3k tonight!!!!

[Irish-John Graduate10 in reply to Rockshammer]

Yep - the temptation to just run on and on and on....

There be the Dark Side! LOL
