A 10k reflection

[Over62]

Reading a few

posts on here over the past couple of weeks about the Vitality London 10,000 which I had signed up to a few weeks ago, I thought I’d better go out and check a 10k route.

It’s amazing when you settle into a new routine of distances that those which were key milestones start to fade a little into the background as you aim for new goals.

So I set off this morning to review a 10k route instead of my normal midweek 7k. It was a lovely run of adding a bit in one place and cutting back on another and then suddenly the 10k was achieved.

I did my normal routine of warming down returning home to be greeted by my key follower telling me I had done a PB for 10k what a great start to the day. It’s amazing how much we achieve along the way but it was lovely to reflect that it was way back in July when I last ran 10k as a goal the time per K was a minute slower than this morning!

Amazing!

Happy running everyone 🏃🏻‍♀️😃

Oh well done. Sounds like 10k is slowly beginning to become the new normal. Well done!! I’m so in awe of anyone running 10k!

[Over62 in reply to CBDB]

Hello CBDB yes it’s lovely now to be able to choose a few distances, looking forward though to entering a race even though it’s virtual for the first time!🏃🏻‍♀️

Great that you worked out a good route and had a great run. It van be awkward finding 10k run routes sometimes can't it. 10k is now my favourite distance, so I spend quite a lot of times with maps!

[Over62 in reply to Roxdog]

I agree, being able to have choice really helps

That’s great that you’ve got your route planned out over62. There will be a lot of us posting virtual runs that week. Here’s to more PBs.

Looking forward to all the posts coming in, it’s amazing what challenges many of us have taken up😁

Well done Over62, I’ve signed up for that one too. I still look at various points en-route and remember reaching them exhausted and pleased to have got there, whereas now I can carry on past them, which is a great feeling....Good luck for the run when it arrives 👍🏅🏃‍♀️
