Post grad B210K consolidation-10K

[David_G]

Hi all, I ran a 5K road route then 2 laps of the Lloyd Parkrun circuit for 10K overall. I got round in 1:08:07 @ 6:49/km and a PB for 10K according to Strava 🏃‍♂️😀🥇

The children’s Parkrun was being held around the route so I was careful to keep out of their way 🙂 Hope they’re all Parkrunners of the future!

Hopefully this will set me up nicely for my ‘Switchback 5’ (5 mile, 8 km) cross country run in 3 weeks 🏃‍♂️🤞🤞

Happy running everyone! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

That’s a great time, David, you must be so chuffed! Sounds like you are very well prepared for you upcoming cross country run to me. 👍👏

[David_G in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thanks Sadie, I hope I’ll have done enough to get me through the cross country. 🤞I believe there’s a memento for finishing so that might count as my first bit of running bling! 🏅👍

A great consolidation 10k David, and good to be running with the young ones too.

[David_G in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, the children run around part of the circuit in the opposite direction to adult Parkrun, so it was easy to keep out of their way. 🙂

I’m not sure they’d want to use me as a role model though! 🤣

Good run David and great time! Definitely sounds like you are ready for the 5mile and the shiny bling at the end

[David_G in reply to Lorijay]

Thanks Lorijay, I’ve still got 3 weeks to train so hopefully I’ve not bitten off more than I can chew! 😳🙂

After that it’s 3 weeks till the Croydon 10K so I’d like to be running over 10K regularly by then 🏃‍♂️ I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now it’s all about the cross country 🙂🤞👍

[Lorijay Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Great plans David. I just love this whole running lifestyle and sounds like it has had a similar effect on you. Enjoy your runs this week!!

[David_G in reply to Lorijay]

Thanks Lorijay, you too! 🙂👍

[David_G in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks Ju-Ju, I never would have thought I’d be here when I started C25K in April. This running lark seems to have taken over my life! 😳🙂👍

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

One of the side effects, it does kind of take over everything!! Great tho isn’t it?

[David_G in reply to ju-ju-]

Oh yes, my wardrobe is now full of running gear🏃‍♂️🎽👟 and motorbike clobber 🏍 and the work clothes have to fit in around those! 👍

[David_G in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks Fab450! I’m getting there but trying not to be too over-confident 😊 I hope I get round the cross country🤞, but I’m not sure what state I’ll be in afterwards! 😳🤪🙂👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Oh I’m sure that will be an amazing feeling afterwards. 😁 You have already done such an amazing run! And you can do it!! 😉 😍❤️
