So one of my targets for June was to run 8k... I ticked that one off this morning πββοΈ I deliberately slowed my pace down, almost half a second/km slower than my 7.5k last Sunday and it felt really good π and bonus, I was back before any of the torrential downpours!!
Goal number 1 for June complete : So one of my... - Bridge to 10K
Goal number 1 for June complete

Congratulations on completing your quest to run a 8K by the end of June, well done, I hope your two boys are very proud of their mother, perhaps they might want to start running one of those days.
By the way if you ran that in around a hour you are entitled to ask the administrators to put 60mingraduate next to your username.
Thanks Al, the eldest only has 2 settings... run or dawdle... I hope they are sporty, sport has played a major part in my life so far but time will tell. The run was approx 58mins so I'm sure the next 500m increase will get me to the hour π
Fantastic achievement and the weather gods on your side π

That's fantastic - well done! You'll be at 10k before you know it!!!

Well done on your 8k - and yes, slowing the pace really helps when upping the distance! By the way, I do believe that if you can run an 8k - you can run a 10k! Just saying...! ππ

Congratulations on your 8k and slowing down to run longer really works and as Sandraj39 says 10k is just around the corner. πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ

Well done, great achievement- running 8k, managing to slow down as planned and beating the rain - some torrential rain with thunder around us earlier. Happy running π€

Well done Mum22boys. Thatβs so great. Iβve got my 8k on Wednesday. Hoping to run it at a slower pace. With 5k I find I can pace quite well now and always manage negative splits but the longer runs are still a work in progress on that.

Very well done Mum22boys on your 8k run, fantastic achievement.
Great too to slow down a bit for the longer distance.
Glad you managed to avoid the heavy rain βοΈ on your run. I played tennis πΎ yesterday and was on court just after a heavy downpour. The surface was a little slippy initially, and I was cautious running about and turning too fast until it dried up.
Well done again, and Happy running πββοΈ π

Thank you for asking, my knee was ok after the tennis. The court dried off very quickly fortunately.
Unfortunately though my knee is quite niggly again and a little painful following my latest run. It wasnβt a fast or long run but something is not quite right.
Iβm trying to get a face to face appointment with a physio.
Thank you again, and happy running π
