Sunday 10km

I struggled today! I think I was too tired, plus I also set off too fast. Whilst I did manage to maintain my pace (58:30 for 10k!) I just felt tired throughout! My legs were heavy, and also my mind wasn't really in it too much.

Despite the difficulties I'm happy to have finished this week of running :) and to have gotten under an hour for a 10k!

That's a super run at the end of the week. Hey, if you can run like this feeling how you did then it's s massive positive 😊 Any 10k under an hour is terrific. Well done! Rest up and we go again 👏👏

thanks!! yes I think I struggle to maintain my pace more when I'm tired so thats why its all over the pace + a bit faster... doesn't feel so great! But yes coming under 1h was very pleasing :)

Today I've done nothin else so hopefully will feel fresh for next week!

Very impressive a_in_gsr to have managed all that on an ‘off’ day - it took me nearly twice that to do 10k this am and I was feeling quite good!! What a great way to end your running week!👏👏

thank you! Any 10k is so impressive though honestly - I'm just happy to be able to run this distance!! Running for nearly 2h is also an achievement - I'd like to work beyond 60 minutes in time.

That's so fast! Maybe today was a day to keep it slow, if you were tired?

I was trying to go slow! This was more my ideal pace for 6/7 k - not 10K! But I do struggle with pacing a lot, especially when I'm tired. I'll definitely work on keeping my long runs slower, especially as the distance increases.

😮 That’s your too tired time !!!! A sub 60 min 10k is amazing! Be careful if your not tired next time or you’ll be setting the speed cameras off 💥 🤣
