So I’ve been building up my runs to do a 10k next weekend. Today was my first 9k and my first run over 60 mins πŸ™ŒπŸ» Very happy with my 9.14k in 1hr 03 mins at 6:58 / km pace. For a 57 year old who started C25K 6 months ago in lockdown having never been able to run before I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself πŸ˜‰β˜ΊοΈ

You must be very proud of that run. Sounds great. It's funny how these longer distances become more and more comfortable as you get stronger. 10k next!

you should be incredibly proud. I'm twenty years younger than you and our times match! Well done.
