Trumpet Blowing Time!

[Gump73]

I haven't posted anything for ages - in fact not sure if I ever have in B25k! I graduated from c25k last December and have been running 2-3 times per week since (give or take the odd week). This morning I did my first 10k - decided just to keep going beyond my usual 8k route. Chuffed to bits. Would never in a million years have believed I could do this if asked a year ago. Maybe helped having Brian at my back on the odd hill, though to be fair he slapped me in the face a few times too! 😁

Ps - I have my Garmin set in miles! I'm legit lol.

Excellent time. Very well done. Would love to run 10K some day at that Pace.

Thank you. With all the comments about my time I'm now wondering if my Garmin is right because I wouldn't have put myself down as a fast runner - not that I have anyone to compare myself to as I always run alone - except when one of the offspring accompanies me on their bike! Might set map my run next time just to check Lol!

I did 10k for the first time just over a week ago. It took me 1:15:44. I took it nice and easy. I have ran a sub 30 min 5K only once. I am usually knocking around 31 to 32 mins for a 5K. I will train further at get used to running 10K, hopefully that will help at reducing both my 5K and 10k times.

Your Garmin will be correct.

I must admit it's just getting out in the fresh air and enjoying the endorphins at the end of it all that keeps the motivation going for me. Though a challenge is good too lol!

Well done you! Fantastic time ! I have mine set in miles too It doesn't seem to be that long when your running it I think. In Km's for me it always seems longer some how. Mind over matter I think!

Anyhoo! Well done👏👏👍

Happy running ! 😀😀
