I did my 10k!

I did my 10k at the beginning of September. It was slow, but 10 minutes faster than anything that I did in training, so I'm a very happy greylady at the moment. People keep saying about the Great North Run, but that seems an awful long way, and I just want to keep the 10k distance in my legs so to speak.. any tips as to what to do next gratefully received!

Fantastic grey lady on your 10k! Great achievement. I managed to get to just over 9k on Sunday albeit on the treadmill as I wanted to watch the great north run also ( read me post for more info) . Being a Geordie I didn't want to miss it by going out. Tomorrow I'm going out to hopefully achieve my 10k.

Anyhoo congrats again and take care.😄😄

Go for it! Have you thought of entering an event? I did Tees Pride 10k and it was great, and it comes with bling!

Hi grey lady. Yes I'm going to again enter the Hereford running festival in May but this time to do the 10k. I would love to think I could also do a half marathon,but I will be 60 in February and not to sure if I will overstretch myself,so for now I shall do a 10k.😀😀

Happy running!😀😀

Well done! 🙂👍

Now you have a ten k under your belt your running opens up before you. You can just keep going a bit further each time and maybe enter a 10k race, which would be fun 🏃‍♀️

There's no pressure to push things so just keep enjoying your running, hopefully getting fitter as you go 🙂

Well done! It's a great distance and you can explore all sorts of new areas and run routes or wherever takes your fancy. Just keep to a routine and then as Misswobble says you can consider entering a race. Make sure there's bling 🎖
