Have I found my happy running pace?

Did my 7k from week 3 of ju-ju- s plan tonight, a smidgeon under 50 mins at a constant pace (treadmill controlled) , wouldn't exactly say that I finished ad fresh as a daisy but definitely could have kept going, my target when setting out on the 10k plan was to do it in less than 75 mins, for the first time feel confident I might achieve that, my 3 month anniversary of joining the C25K plan, would never have thought I would be here in such a short space of time, happy running everybody

Thanks a lot, hoping to have the Graduate10 badge alongside my name in a few weeks 🀞🏻

Well Done you! That's a fantastic achievement already, and great to hear you're on track. I haven't thought about how long 10K will take, but presume it'll be slightly over twice my 5K, allowing for a slower pace to accommodate the fatigue of a longer run.

That's what I'm figuring too.Let's do it!

Thanks, I figured 75 mins was a reasonable Target 🎯 for now

Agreed! I'll pinch your target for now, but may just take it as it comes, however long it might be. I'm still working on slowing down.
