Planned to do 7k this morning after a day sat watching England win the ODI in Southampton yesterday.๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

Was on my own as my sister did a parkrun yesterday so headed for the railway line to do a steady 7k. And it felt comfortable and it was sunny and there was a cool breeze....so I kept going! And I got to 10k for the first time! I'm so happy!! It wasn't fast but it was 10k!! Was hoping to do it in about an hour and a half so was pleased with the time.

I graduated almost a year ago so it's taken a while...!

Thank you for my lovely badge!! I will 'wear' it with pride!

The bottom photo is the railway line from my house. It's my favourite place to run.

Hey Ang33333, thatโ€™s brilliant!! Many congratulations - I know we started this running malarkey around a similar time, so Iโ€™ve been interested in your progress. And all when you werenโ€™t quite expecting it too!! Great achievement.

Bask in the 10K glow (and the sunshine!) โ˜€๏ธ

Congratulations to you Ang33333 on graduating and completing a 10k run today, well done, I remember congratulating you when you graduated from C25K and you congratulating me when I graduated from C25K.

I have been rerunning some of the weeks of C25K, this week its week 9. Not sure if this year I will do what you have just ran. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ, once again congratulations ๐ŸŽŠ ๐Ÿ˜Š

I didn't think I would ever get to 10k. Seemed like such a long way! It was a long way, just kept going! Hope you get there too!

Once I have ran a few 30 minute runs I will increase the distance by the 10% rule, that is 3 minutes longer a run, I usually run the longer runs on a Wednesday and Saturday, I have measured out two 10K routes, all off road, I'll see how it goes. ๐Ÿ˜Š.

She has. She had a bad cold for weeks and it set her back. She's running 6k again now.

Thank you! Not quite as far as you're running now! I think half marathon is maybe my aim... It does seem a long way though...!

Jay66UK profile image
Jay66UKGraduate10 in reply to Ang33333

10k is a long run! Consolidate. Get comfy with the 10ks to the point they are your weekly long run. Then slowly add a km and build up to 10 miles/16.1k.

Short term goals will get you to HM easily. It really is just believing that you can x

Hi Ang, Iโ€™m a little bit late to your party due to some technical difficulties with the app but just wanted to say very well done to you, amazing! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I remember I graduated C25k around the same time as you. Your progress is brilliant, I hope it is the first of many 10ks to come! ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ˜Š
