First 10k I've ever run in my life! I never thought I'd get this far. Thanks to everyone for all of the support and guidance. I guess I'm a runner now - I have a running face & everything (usually this 😬). More like this just now though 😁😁😁😁.

Congratulations πŸ₯³, I managed my first 8k on Tuesday now feeling that the 10k will be within reach soon🀞

Now you have achieved 10k, what next?πŸ˜‰πŸ€”

Hahahahahahahaha- a lie down! But yes, that question was in my mind as well. Would love to get a bit faster eventually, but am tempted by longer distances. However it becomes such a drain on your time, training-wise. Will need to think carefully about it once I come down off the ceiling 😁😁😁. And well done for your 8k; you'll manage 10k no bother at all πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Couldn’t have said it better myselfπŸ‘

I am hoping to get to the 10k within the next 2-4 weeks then I think I will consolidate and just try to maintain the weekly distance, mixing up the runs a bitπŸ€”

Everyone says speed will come so 🀞

At present I count myself lucky being on furlough and having the time to invest in this.

Happy running, enjoy your highπŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

I know, I used my furlough to move from 5k to 10k, and was glad of the extra time. I'm back at work now though, so will have to work out how to fit all this running in - but I will! Good luck with your 10k - let us know how you get on!

It's a great achievement, well done. Also a very good time, similar to myself, nice and easy.

Once I had done 8km in the 60 mins I knew I could do the 10km averaging 8mins.

Dont know what's next, just taking an easy period and mixing runs. Hoping to still do 5k under 30mins.

Very disappointed to miss the GNR5K again.

Thanks - I agree about the GNR & similar - would love to do a run with other people, just for a change. I did a few 5ks years ago (pre hip op) & loved the atmosphere, even though I'm normally happy running solo. Never thought I'd get back running again, and better than I was before! (Took about 12 years right enough πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ)
