4th 10k and a new pb🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

[Buddy34]

I promised myself I would run a 10k on each Monday of December. So today was my 4th 10k.

Quite windy and rainy but pleasant for running in .

I'm really chuffed as I've knocked nearly 2 minutes off my 10k pb .

Happy running people 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10]

Wow, well done, that’s fantastic running! In my dreams, that’s me next year 😁🏃🏼‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Yes it will be Jazzyrunner. I graduated in February 2019 and stayed with 5k as I really didn't think I could go any further. But do you know what inspired me to eventually push myself , it was reading the folks posts on here getting to that 10k. I thought I would give it a try . 🎅

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

This forum is as amazing as the C25k one - I really can’t imagine anything more supportive and inspiring! Anyway, the achievement is all yours 👏🏻

[Chris9R Graduate10]

Wow that’s awesome Buddy. Soo soo impressed. Keep it up 👍🏻

[Hidden]

Wow well done, that is some commitment and achievement. 🥳.

[Couchpotato2]

Well done! 1h for 10km is looking closer. What is your 5k pb?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

29.56 . Got that at parkrun where it's really flat I think. No flat running where I stay there is always a hill or an incline 🤣

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Buddy34]

Hills are good I presume... I have them too, no way to avoid them... I ask because I think you might find an improvement in your 5km from doing these longer runs; will be interesting to see

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10]

Well done. Jealous of the time! 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Congratulations to you Buddy34 on that new PB 10K time of. 1.04.44, four seems to be your lucky number today, I think you could get a even better time if you ran the Drumpelliier parkrun course twice.

I intend to run my 5th 10K run on the 10th day of Christmas which is the 3rd January, I will run my next 5K on the 5th day of Christmas which is the 29th December 🎄 🎅.

I was through in Edinburgh this morning, walked up Calton Hill then around the Edinburgh 🤶 🎄 Christmas Market.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr. The Edinburgh christmas market is lovely my daughter was up yesterday.

I agree with you maybe doing a 10k at Drumpiellier 🎅🎅

[Maz1234]

Well done Buddy really good time . Hoping to achieve 10k myself on Wednesday morning.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Maz1234]

Great, a Christmas 10k . 🎅🎅🎅

[Katnap Graduate10]

Proper speedy! 👏👏👏👏🏃🏃🏃😃

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Fantastic effort once again. Have you signed up for a race in 2020 you sound like you are really ready for one.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Not yet Grannytobe 🎅🎅

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Letting the side down buddy 😉 I foolishly signed up for a 10k road race at Durness as park of the cape wrath challenge week . It will be a real challenge for me as it's on the road, part of the nc500 route so avoiding tourists with camper vans. You can be my vrb that would give me the impetus to keep going on the hills.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That’s amazing, i can’t wait til we run for longer just can’t believe how many calories you use, my highest is almost 400 and i thought that was exciting

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I will need those burned calories if someone buys me my favourite chocolates at Christmas.. Black magic🎅

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

And that’s the real joy of being a runner isn’t it? you can enjoy special food treaty’s and run the calories off

[Sp81 Graduate10]

Fantastic buddy34. Xx 🎅🏻🎄

[AliHC Graduate10]

Oh Buddy34 that's fantastic!

You are doing so well! Keep up the good work! What a great time you got too!☃️⌚🎄❤️

[JaoJao Graduate10]

You are vdery good Buddy! I am running a 10K about once a fortnight at the moment

[MikeJones68 Graduate10]

Well done. The sub 1hr 10k will come very soon!

[Run46 Graduate10]

Ooh, you've set me a challenge Buddy, my PB is 1:06 😉

Very well done...It's pretty awesome what C25K and this forum has done to/for us 😊

[Vegout25]

Wow that’s fantastic, well done you. Huge respect for your commitment 👍😊Have a great Xmas

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Vegout25]

You too 🎅🎅🎅

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

What a great run Buddy. Well done - a PB for Xmas is a lovely bonus. Merry Christmas 🎄

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Merry Christmas to you too 🎅🎅

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done on your new PB - 2 mins off a previous 10k PB is fab!!😀👍

[martinhermanus]

Well done, I found running 10 k was easy when I adjusted my pace to something doable. Slow is good!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to martinhermanus]

Someone said to me it was easier to get from 5k to 10k than it was getting to 5k and they were right.

Now they tell me it's easier to get to 10 miles. Not sure 😂

[martinhermanus in reply to Buddy34]

As one gets to know ones body it gets easier. Walk if you need to!

[Rowers Graduate10]

That's great! Only managed 10k once so far but hoping to make it once a month (to start with) in the new year.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Rowers]

10k is an amazing distance and as always i think back to wk1r1 on c25k when that 60 seconds felt so hard.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you 🎅🎅🍾🍾
