Yaaas, 10k plan success 👍🏻

[Vintage61]

Virtual 10k today for charity. Followed a plan gifted by a friend. Felt stronger and in control, still shattered tho. 🤪 Loving this running journey soooooo much. Not loving the lock down hair though!

Happy safe running everyone 💕

Congratulations!

A milestone run. Really pleased to hear that you felt in control! Running gives us so much. Enjoy the rest of your day 😁

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much. I think this is my 4th 10k and with all others have struggled , finished more by luck than judgement. Learning more all the time, it’s amazing. You enjoy your day too 😊

[Hidden in reply to Vintage61]

You are so right. The experiences each run gives us are so important. The pacing and breathing and effort all come together and it feels ace. Hey, your next 10k will be your fifth...50k that is insane 🥇🥇🥇

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Brilliant effort, so happy for you, ignore the hair - we're all the same 🤣. Happy running 🤗

Isn’t it amazing how the struggle to run for 10 mins becomes the struggle for 5k and then 10K and suddenly you are a runner. But you keep telling yourself and everyone else...I’m not really a runner it’s not easy!! But there you are running 10K and smiling at the end...many congratulations! 1/2 marathon next !!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️💐❤️

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to CandyCool]

The k you. And yes, I remember that running for 10 mins seemed like a lifetime away to me last year!! Half marathon would be amazing, maybe something for later next year.

[Hforrun]

Fabulous well done 😍. I’ve just completed 3rd consolidation run an looking to do a plan soon. Would love to run a 10k eventually 😆

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to Hforrun]

Thank you. I didn’t manage 5k until a few weeks after graduation so very respectful of any distance. I made the mistake of running to much and too far after graduation and crocked myself. Lesson learned early. I love running full stop, the only person who puts me under pressure is me! 🤪

[oofyprosser]

Well done! Love to know what the plan is. I'm up to 5k so would love to move forward.

[RebelR]

What plan/app are you using please?

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to RebelR]

I’m using a plan gifted to me by a friend’s PT. But it’s very much like Ju Ju’s Magic plan, a mix of intervals, core and strength training and progressive runs

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Congratulations on your virtual race - you look really happy. Half marathon? Wow that really be something, wouldn't it?

[Vintage61 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you. It would...... we’ll see. I might need a hip replacement after, not getting any younger!!!! 🤣

[grumpyoldgirl]

Lovely to see this post, vintage! You're looking fab my lovely, lockdown hair or no! So envious that you're getting yours sorted, I was trying to find a new hairdresser when lockdown hit, so I have to get an appointment with a new salon, then get other half to take me, because I'm still on crutches. Or I might just hide indoors until I'm allowed to drive at the end of the month. PS you're a proper runner now for sure 💪
