Yay! I've finally managed my second 10k, three and a half months since my first.
There was no running club at work today as the coach is on holiday, but I decided I couldn't just sit in the office and went off by myself. I decided to deviate from the usual route and add a bit to it. By the time I'd covered our usual lunchtime 6k distance I was still some way from work.....hmmm, I thought, maybe I can squeeze a 10k in here.....
It was tough going. I managed to sting my legs on nettles running along overgrown tracks, my right foot did it's old trick of going to sleep at 7k and my left achilles started niggling again. I beat my PR by just over 4 minutes though and I have noticed that I have some muscle definition in my legs for the first time in my life!!
Happy running

Thanks Richard. I was hoping to knock more than 4 minutes off my previous time, but it was heavy going today in the heat.
Well done! And I have muscle definition too (though my legs aren't as hairy as yours!). We have to keep at it - it's sad to think how quickly all that running fitness could vanish if we stopped making the effort xx

Managed a second 10k
How are my legs feeling so much better after my first 10k of 2019 (not sure if I managed 10k in 2018 either) than after my 5ks?
