First 10k

[lisathequeen]

First 10k done today. Slow time to make sure I finished it. Should have pushed a bit maybe but I enjoyed it ... nice walk at haigh hall now to relax !

[O505k Graduate10]

Brilliant, well done. The first 10k is special.

[lisathequeen Graduate10 in reply to O505k]

yes...thank you! Never believed I would achieve this!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

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.

[lisathequeen Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

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!!

[Mercmancouchto5k]

Hi Lisathequeen,

This is a very inspirational story. I have only just graduated couch25K so I look forward in due course to catching up to your level of fitness. All the best

[lisathequeen Graduate10]

Thank you...well done on graduating and best wishes for your future running! 🏃‍♂️

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

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! 😊🥇🥇🥇🥇

[lisathequeen Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

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 ! 🏃🏃

[Katnap Graduate10]

Woohoo! Always a happy achievement after graduating from C25k 😸

[lisathequeen Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Yes indeed ..thank you. . been nice to have another challenge ! 🏃
