Congratulations on achieving the 10k. I disagree that you should have pushed more... your longest run of a cycle should be as relaxed as possible and run easy/comfortable. Great job.

yes...I think it was best to take it slow and not put myself off of doing it again!!

Great job!! I have my first 10K in March and aiming for a time not to dissimilar to this. I wouldn’t say it’s a slow pace at all but then I’m quite new to running too. Onwards and upwards as they say!!

Brilliant run and welcome to the 10k club!! Time isn't relevant. A nice steady run, keeping the average heart rate down, will have done you loads of good and set you up for the next one. My second 10k was about two and half minutes faster than the first mainly because I speeded up towards the end when I found I had a bit of energy in the tank. So just go by how you feel; for now, just enjoy the achievement! 😊πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡

lisathequeenGraduate10β€’ in reply toBeachcomber66

Thank you beachcomber. I have felt pretty good since I did it , a lot if that is down to taking it steady so I wasn’t exhausted ... that has made me realise that I can do it again and mainly that I will enjoy it when I do ! πŸƒπŸƒ
