First proper 10K

After last week’s frustrating mid run emergency I was determined to reattempt my 10K river run this morning so set of bright and early with my phone on “do not disturb “ this time.

With Strava in my ear telling me my pace every 1/2km, I settled into a sub 6min pace and began to enjoy myself. A few rowers on the river and one or two runners and cyclists but it was actually pretty quiet on the towpath.

Very pleased to have “graduated” with a sub hour inaugural 10K following a pb at parkrun on Saturday too. A good week! Weekend off now though as off to France with my book club (wine club) 🍷 🍾

Knew you would get there soon - well done and enjoy your achievement!😀 Fantastic time too.

I see you have Saucony Omni ISOs - how are you finding them? I have SO 16s but they are discontinued.

Thanks Jonathan!

The shoes are great and feel like comfy slippers! Saucony came to our social run group at our local Up and Running shop and let us trial a pair on our 5k evening run. I have super wide feet so wear the men’s version which gives me plenty of room in the toe box. It was a good first outing this morning in them. Very comfortable indeed!
