Still slower than a burnt out snail ๐ŸŒ but managed to knock two minutes off my time which Iโ€™m happy about! Itโ€™s rained the whole way but it was so refreshing and comfortable to run in ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Well done AllyS on running your third ever 10K yesterday in the rain, โ˜” (not with a umbrella ) not heard from you for a while, but it's nice that you like me are still running. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ

Thanks Al ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Iโ€™ve been quietly working away on completing my three 5Kโ€™s per week and trying so hard to improve my time but itโ€™s been such a slow process! Intended doing a 5K yesterday but felt so comfortable that I just kept on going! Glad to hear youโ€™re still pounding the pavements too ๐Ÿ˜Š

I am pounding the pavements by rerunning some of the runs of C25K as part of my "runiversary runs" it was on 18th April 2018 that I began C25K and graduated 2 months later. I ran several 5Ks in the late summer and early autumn of last year, my PB is 32.25, but once the winter started I reverted back to long walks rather than running, the long walks I have been doing during the winter for about 40 years, so come spring it's back to running.

Enjoy getting back into it again Al. Thatโ€™s a fab PB 5K time and one which I aspire to ๐Ÿ˜Š. Iโ€™m still at 37.05 but will keep plugging away as Iโ€™d really like to do the local Park Run but I dare not until I get my time down for fear of embarrassing myself by being a slow coach ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Well done Ally. I also did my 3rd 10K last night. I really enjoyed it. But going to go back to 5K and 7K for a bit. Isnโ€™t great to know we can do it if we want to.

Thanks Damien! Yes it sure is fab to know that we can knock out a 10K when we put our mind to it ๐Ÿ˜Š. Iโ€™m going to focus on reducing my 5K times for the next few weeks. Iโ€™m really looking at getting at least 3-5 mins off my time ๐Ÿคž๐ŸปHappy running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I did interval training and managed to get my 5K Parkrun time down from 34 minutes to 26:30 . Intervals condition you and get you used to running faster for longer. I did 1K intervals. It works.

Thanks for that info Damien. Think Iโ€™ll maybe try intervals when I do my next 5K tomorrow night. ๐Ÿค”

Gosh you say you are slow but sounds pretty speedy to me! I did my first park run a couple of weeks ago in 46 minutes. Never thought I'd be able to run that far so I was super pleased. Even though I was so slow there were people behind me. I wouldn't wait to go faster. Just go for it! And 10k! I am in awe. Working my way up there, very slowly..

AllySGraduate10โ€ข in reply toGwenllian1

No Iโ€™m anything but speedy Gwen ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. I should probably just do the park run instead of getting wound up about the time. Well done to you for doing yours! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Congratulations! I 'm working up to my third 10k after a gentle start to Spring ( 8k this week I hope on JuJu's plan) It's great to hear your joy!

I'm a bit alarmed though to read that you feel the need to have a certain speed for PRun.I thought the whole point was that they are for everyone of all abilities not competitive speed runs?I've yet to do one mind you!

AllySGraduate10โ€ข in reply toEmpem

Thank you Em. Itโ€™s a fantastic feeling to get to that magic 10K...first time I did it I was in floods of tears ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I probably do need to fixate less on the time for completing the 5k and just go and do the ruddy Park Run!! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Thatโ€™s brilliant!! Well done. Lovely to see a fellow ๐ŸŒ. Iโ€™m on JuJuโ€™s plan and did 8k in one hour five last week so suspect weโ€™re around the same speed. Slow and steady!!
