Completed the bridge to 10k

[NeilT73]

I was on of those people that said running was never for me and my 2 wheels were my form of exercise.

Well working from home stopped my cycling commute and the odd 1 hour ride at a weekend was just not enough to stop the odd few pounds being added during lockdown.

So I started running in July and got to 5k by mid August.

I then gave myself the next target which was to complete a 10k by the end of September and I’m pleased to say I done it on the final day of the month.

So my goals for the month of October are

1) to run at least 3 times a week

2) run 20k a week

3) improve my pace

This will be tested as I’m about to go away for 5 nights to Corfu on Tuesday, but I have packed running shorts, socks, top and my running shoes.

This is all training for the next challenge that has been set for me by my girlfriend, I am running a 6k Commando challenge in the first week of November. So not only running, its lots of lovely obstacles to get through and over too.

Well done, you've followed a similar trajectory to me, I started in March on couch to 5k due to lockdown and ran my first 10k in May. Great to keep giving yourself goals, it's great motivation. That's also a great first 10k time🙂
