Bristol 10k love

Yippee I got to the finish line!! 1h13 all told.

I used a 10k training podcast that has 3 lots of 20 minute intervals which worked well as the minute interludes allowed me to get my (crazy fast) heart rate down.

Struggled at the 8k to 9k mark but then got chatting with a wonderful woman who reinvigorated me and made me realise I'd done the hard stretch already and of course we could finish this.

So I did 😁

Thanks to all the crowd for cheering, the kiddies (and oldies) for the high fives for all the advice and encouragement received here that ran through my mind on more than one occasion.

Lots of love to all the runners out there today too you are all inspirational. Enjoy the rest of a beautiful day 😍

Hello Charliep,

Congratulations and well done indeed for your 10K. 1h13 sounds very respectable and Iots of people including me would just love to be able to do it too! Would you mind letting me know where I can find the training podcast you mention in your post?

Thank you and happy running.
