As I have mentioned recently I have been trying to do slower, longer runs and I wanted to try to get back to 10km. My plan on Wednesday was to do a slow 8km, but the weather was so beautiful that when I reached 8 I thought I could safely and slowly tootle to 9, I did, well you can see the rest. To be honest my legs probably had another 1 or 2 km left but common sense prevailed.
1 hour and 19 minutes of this was in the cardio zone, and I was impressed, as that took a surprising amount of focus to maintain.
Today I thought I would pick up the pace a bit and again was fortunate that it was another glorious autumn morning .
I didn't have much left in the tank after though😆

Great running distance Jell6 that slowing it all down science project works, but like you mentioned it's no mean feat keeping it within that correct zone.......but it definitely pays off 🙂
Thanks Hidden .I can't see me doing 10km every week, but 7 or 8 will definitely happen. I certainly won't leave it over a year before I do another 10km!
I am so grateful to Tasha99 for her post that set me off in this direction. Who knows, I might even go further 🤩
You know it's only mind over matter💪🙂 you've probably done that in a blink on some of those crazy busy NHS shifts........ Remember your 10% rule and heck Jell6, go knock it out or the park 🤓
Bish bash bosh, get yourself the distance the time you can work on laters 👍, I'm saving my run 🤞for tonight, as cheffing has taken priority 👨🍳 I blame James Martin, watched his show earlier and Kaboom, Saturday spaghetti bolognese for the mutant teenagers good-to-go ✅.
Knee strangely feels a tad notchy mysterious events in the night 🤨 it was fine when I went to bed......... Blumin bed bugs grrrrrr, but I wants to run with my petzl......... Tbc
Thankou!, Yes, definitely whoopee!. If I hadn't set myself a weird personal challenge of only 1 alcoholic drink each month for September October and November I would have rewarded myself with a glass of something 🙄
We always ran super slow apart from run 1 week 1 where after a minute running were bent double gasping for breath, our first 5k took 52 minutes but months later managed it in 40 minutes, we will never be fast, we are very well thanks and i’m super proud that we have kept everyone at work staff and people who live there healthy and mostly happy 😃
Resting today and looking forward to 8k tomorrow although it will take a long time we love being able to run in our mid sixties
Well done on the 10K, cruising like a Cadillac (I didn’t quite spell that correctly on the first attempt, and autocorrect seized in on my weakness and just tried sneaking that into Cruising like a Casserole. It’s like it wants me to get a back-hander) and then gunning 5K like a Ghini (Lambor).
Must feel like a great achievement when pace is all premeditated and held will conscious effort. Very inspirational.
