10K Achieved

[colinla]

Went out this morning to do Week 6 Run 3 of the Magic 10K and everything just clicked into place. Weather was very humid but roads and pavements quiet, so found it enjoyable.

Got to approaching the 55m mark as I had decided to run that, but felt strong enough to continue to the hour and I knew I must be close to 10K.

Glad I did as I managed to clock 10.4K at a decent pace.

I don't post much on these forums but love reading them and finding inspiration to keep me going. Great forum which has helped me achieve this. I only started Couch to 5K in April so very happy with my progress.

Thanks all 😁

What a phenomenal time for your 1st 10k, you deserve to be very proud of it. Well done. I'm sure as the weather cools that time will get smaller and smaller. Happy running 🤗

Thankyou very much. Really glad to have reached 10K. Struggled to run the short bursts in the early stages of C25K but that programme worked and the Magic 10K plan has been great as well 🙂

Fantastic colinla, that’s a pace I’m nowhere near achieving and I’ve run countless 10ks!

Really well done. 🎉🎉🎉

Awe thanks for that compliment 🙂 I've been lucky that my pace has been really quite quick since the later stages of C25K and has just kept being decent since.

Absolutely fantastic!!!! What a superb time in this heat - or any heat come to think of it!!!! Am attempting my 10k tomorrow if I can keep off the rose wine this eve😂

[colinla Graduate10 in reply to AlysP]

Lol I always try to stay off the booze the night before I run, although when it's this warm the temptation is high 🍺! Best of luck tomorrow, I hope you achieve your 10K as it's a really great feeling 🙂🤞

Thanks Colinla- it was the neighbours fault, they ‘forced’ me to drink too much this eve 😂Still going to give it a go with my buddy aka coach Bennett from the Nike app😀

😂😂😂😂😂 have a little one but water before bed then after the run tomorrow you can have loads! Good luck and go steady, time will come so just focus on getting the distance tomorrow. Go steady away and get comfy. Good luck...you can do it!!

[AlysP Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Just been round neighbours- oh dear had a couple of big glasses- but chilled slightly fizzy rosé has got to be the best in this weather!! Now on water......

[Hidden in reply to AlysP]

I don't blame you...you'll still do it 😁😁😁

Thankyou 🙂...I'm not entirely sure what drove me on today. Was just one of those days where I felt in the "zone" and it all worked out
