10k is the magic number Week 3 Run 3 done, every time I doubt myself....

So after a struggle to do 5k a couple of days ago as I battled with asthma I was absolutely determined to do well today.

Conditions not great as I felt I was running into a driving gale for most of the time and also came close to getting stuck in the mud on a couple of occasions.

However once I found my rhythm I was pretty happy jogging along and at the end was very glad to do 7k in just over 49 minutes. Onwards and upwards.

Run happy and run safe everyone. 🏃‍♂️😁

Well done, I will be starting week 3 tomorrow.

Well done Chris, good job!

I'm going back a couple of weeks so the intention is to do 6K tomorrow. However, if I'm feeling good, I'll continue onto 7K.....can't be having you getting away from me

Good luck Ted, I'm considering repeating each week from here on, will see how I feel when I get to the 7k mark next weekend!!!

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

I’ve already gone from 7k to 8k Chris, I didn’t find it too bad tbh, just think of it as another 7mins or so more 😊

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to TedG]

Thats exactly how I tackle it, I get to 4k (the point where I usually start huffing and puffing) then just run each 7 minute section.

That's amazing. I had to put running on hold due to excessive head lurgey but hope to try the 7k soon. Now i have a target to beat

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]
