I DID IT ... 10K🀩🀩🀩🀩

I finally did it. I'm happy I pushed myself to do it , I felt quite tired at the end but after the cool down walk I feel ok.

Every time I get to a certain distance I always remember how hard 60 seconds felt when doing wk1.

I'm glad I stuck at it as I LOVE RUNNING.

Off for a nice warm shower then out with the dog.

Thanks for all the support everyone 🀩🀩

Congratulations. It's an amazing journey from being able to run only a couple of hundred metres in a minute to 10k in hour and 6:46. What a great time too! Well done on a fantastic achievement. I'm made up for you 😁 πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ₯‡

That's brilliant. I knew you would do it, determination is your middle name! I'm stuck on 7k with a sore knee that is making me cross. I think I'm going to have to find a physio as I'm not getting anywhere on my own. Enjoy your achievement. It's pretty special.

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toGwenllian1

Thanks. You've probably already tried this but take a few or more rest days and I found deep heat really good for knee ache. 😊

Gwenllian1 profile image
Gwenllian1Graduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

Oh thanks buddy. Rest I have tried (but perhaps not for long enough) but not deep heat. Do you mean the stuff you can get in a tube or just warmth?

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toGwenllian1

Yes the deep heat cream and I think you can apply it a few times a day and just before you go to bed.

Gwenllian1 profile image
Gwenllian1Graduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

I'll give it a go! I'm getting really fed up with it! Fine when I run but really quite sore afterwards! Husband thinks I should have two or three weeks off so maybe I'm being impatient!

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toGwenllian1

Sometimes rest is the only thing that will help, give it a go the runs will be waiting when you're ready. Good luck 😊

Also lots of walking to keep your legs moving

Franglaise profile image
FranglaiseGraduate10β€’ in reply toGwenllian1

Im in the same position....took extra rest days but knees started hurting on a run too so had to stop....had 10 days off now and itching to get back out there....maybe try a short one Friday...if no better im at the point of searching for a physio.

Ice packs help with leg elevated and i am waiting for knee sleeves....hope your better soon.

I'm a bit late to the party as I haven't been very well with my dental surgeries (had 3 now!) and have barely managed short, slow runs, let alone adding to my 8K, so I've not been on here and I missed that you DID IT! Well done, I'm so chuffed for you πŸ€— I'll catch you up next year 😊
