My 2 goals at the beginning of the year were 5k in under 30 minutes and run 10k.

On Monday I did 5k in 28.47 and today I ran 10.5k in 1 hour 19 seconds.

Got to knock that 19 seconds off now 😁

Well done you. My first 10k last year was about 82 mins and I’ve not managed to run another since, and then I fractured and sprained my ankle , so I’ve had to start again-building back up to full strength.

I’m on week3 of B210k at the moment and managed 6.5k today in 53mins. Can’t wait till I’m back to running 10k.

Good luck with trimming your times 😑

Oh no, you poor thing. I broke my wrist in 3 places just over a year ago and that still gives me pain. I hope you have healed well. You have done brilliantly to get back to 6.5k. Good luck heading back up to 10k x

Yeh I’m healed fine - lots of rest and massaging in Arnica gel and taking Arnica pillules. And then a fantastic sports masseuse who really got in amongst the scar tissue in the bottom of my foot and sorted it out.

I'm registered for a 10k race on the 7th April and I'm not planning on going over 5k next week.

Maybe we can have a virtual race?

I've done 1h25m, 1h16m, 1h6m, and been running slower since. 😬

I'm hoping cheering crowds will give me a boost! πŸ’ͺ😁

Sounds like a plan. I am doing a 10k race at the beginning of May. It’s scary to think there will be people watching 🀣

But, but, but... it looks like your aim is to run 10K in under an hour. So, since you ran 10.5K in 1 hour and 19 seconds, you must have done 10K in less than an hour, right? Alternatively, you could run 100m less and get in under the hour. Or am I missing something? Either way, congratulations on achieving your goals!
