Slow and steady after work run, found it fairly hard in places today but kept going to 6k. Just a week and a half until my 10k so the real build up needs to start. Wore my new running cap which weighs virtually nothing but kept the rain off perfectly. Love a new piece of kit!!!

Run happy, run safe.

Rain caps are fab...Im sure they help with aerodynamics!

Slow and steady? Speedy Gonzalez more like! 🌪🏎🚀😆 Nice one, and sounds like you are ready for the big 10k. Good luck!

Brilliant time & pace.

So glad you've recovered in time for your 10k. You'll smash it!

Sounds great! Glad the cap helped - it's so satisfying when a new piece of kit meets your expectations.

You did well to keep on going - I find after work runs so much harder than morning ones. While it's nice to shrug off some of the stresses of the day (and it's something to look forward to while in work), it's natural that you have less gas in the tank, as it were.
