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

β€’4 Replies

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 β€œpop out” and do a nice 5k and get home without too much trouble. However, I find 10k is more of an β€œevent”/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 β€œRun through the trees” at Westonbirt arboretum in September 😁

Congratulations on your first 10k - your confession is accepted! πŸ˜€ Sometimes things just fall into place and you have to go for it! πŸŽ‰ 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 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŽ“

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 😊
