9k and the bestest pace

[jrunner]

Finally touched 9k with my bestest pace ever for any distance. Average pace is approximately 40 second better than previous. It's now 6.48 min/km, earlier it was 7.27 min/km for 8.69km.

I was running around 8.5k since last 3 weeks. I feel 10k is not too far now. Possibly next couple of week.

Fingers crossed.

Oh you are so close! I am sure you will reach 10k with no problem. Well done on your pace increase, too! But don’t forget, the longer distance you run the better it is to run at a comfortable, slow pace. (But I’m sure you already know that!)

Happy running!

Thanks.

Yeah I was not working on pace, instead working on stamina for longer run. I didn't know there was a parkrun, so as soon as I completed first 3 km, I saw multiple people started running around me and I realised some parkrun is going on, I didn't knew when I started to match their rhythm and when i finish my run, I saw it was my best one.
