B210K W4: I’ve been a really naughty boy 😜

Confession time - I know I was only meant to do 7k last week and 8k this week on the long run but I slowed down my pace and kept going so have now done 10k twice 😳. Oooops. I expected a time of 1:20:00ish but today was 1:11:07 so I’m pleasantly surprised!

I have to say that geographically 10k is a very long way - the sort of distance you would maybe ride a bike or drive in the car - not run!!

Having run 5k three times a week since graduating C25K in January, I can now “pop out” and do a nice 5k and get home without too much trouble. However, I find 10k is more of an “event”/challenge even if because of the time it takes but also finding a route that long! Having said that, all the organised runs online I find interesting are all 10k - I have already booked a 10k “Run through the trees” at Westonbirt arboretum in September 😁

Congratulations on your first 10k - your confession is accepted! 😀 Sometimes things just fall into place and you have to go for it! 🎉 1.11 is an impressive time too.

It’s amazing how many people just accidentally do 10K before they’re meant to. Well done you, consider yourself graduated 🏃‍♂️👏👏🎓

You little devil, DD! Have to say, there's no way I could accidentally run 10k at the moment, it seems a very long way, so impressed 😊
