A ray of light

After struggling in recent weeks and plenty of stretches and exercises I managed a 10k PB at 54.01. It was tough but I kept going because I know I can rest now! Thanks everyone for your continued support.

Absolutely awesome 👏🏻 💪

What a great time for a 10k , I know you’ve been struggling of late with knee probs so this makes it an even more awesome achievement.

Congratulations 🍾🎉👏🏻🍾👏🏻🍾🎉

Let the celebrations begin.

Thank you buddy. Hope you are not too far away. When you are ready take it steady and you'll be back in the game!

Great running GTFC and a fast 10k pb. Congratulations 🏃‍♂️🥳🥳

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

How are your shoes Buddy? Is today the day you try them out?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Tried then out on monday they are fine 👍

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Woo hooooo!

[limberlou Graduate10]

Blimey !! That’s a good time. I’m envious.... never managed to get below 82 mins!!!! And that’s when I was running 10ks regularly. Maybe this summer I’ll knock some time off it.

[Hidden in reply to limberlou]

You will for sure! At 46 I'm pleased really but I don't aim for them so often. When you do knock some time off I'll be here congratulating you 😊

[Hidden in reply to limberlou]

And if I'm anywhere near your times when I get the same age then I'll be absolutely buzzing!

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. I tend to plod along and I’m always amazed if I have a decent-ish time

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Nice one GTFC! A run to be proud of!

[Rigpig]

That's amazing, I am in awe of how you have progressed in such a short time! Six months ago yesterday to be precise

[Hidden in reply to Rigpig]

Gosh yes! I was supposed to remember that my friend. November 11th together and we're still here my friend. Hope all is well buddy.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Wow fantastic run, great time, you must be delighted. Enjoy your rest days. Happy running 🤗

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10]

WOW, that is an amazing time and I think for me, something I can only dream of, although I have only done that distance twice now so I suppose there is time to improve.

Like Martin says, it's even more impressive with your recent knee troubles so huge well done 🎉🎉🎉

Definitely time to celebrate now 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🍾🥂🥳🎊🎉🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Hidden in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Well done on your super speedy run with lots of PBs. Brilliant!

[59er Graduate10]

Well done!

How're your knees feeling? No problems I hope. I'm just running 30'ish minutes now. Perhaps I'll build it up a little at a time - my consolidation runs all over again although I don't think I did as many of them as I should have. Hmmm......

[Hidden in reply to 59er]

They are certainly improving. Still the odd ache but every day I foam roll and stretch two or three times so for a few weeks I'll keep 10k and under then look to build from there. I'll take it with a cautiously optimistic approach.

30 mins is great, it's a good amount of running. Just add 10% or so on each week. That's what I'll do now. I'm going to do around 15 miles a week then 16.5 etc up to 20-25 miles. I'll be happy with that.

[59er Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

The 10% thing sounds like a good idea. I think I'll give that a try. I'll let you know how I get on!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Wow! Well deserved GTFC!

Congrats and very well done on a great pace for 10K. You were about 3 mins faster than my PB time for 10K. Great running.
