10K Personal Best....Flying Phoenix !! 😁🏃‍♂️

[Couchphoenix]

Well having resisted the urge to stay in bed and be a lazy lump, I laced up my Brooks and got out there.

Decided to do a practice run for the Vitality 10,000 I’ve got coming up. Chose a Nike Run Club 10k run, the weather was a bit chilly to begin with but I soon warmed up and got my breathing into a good steady rhythm which I’ve found is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned, and just kept going.I felt strong today and even managed to pick up the pace at the end, which felt great.

What felt even better was when I realised I’d achieved a 10k PB, shaving 2 minutes off my previous time 😁 what a great start to the day !!

Happy Running Everyone 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Feeling very pleased with myself now and still amazed at how far I’ve come since beginning C25K.

[Blackberrypie Graduate10]

By coincidence I am also doing the vitality 10k, and did a 10k run today with Nike Run club (I did the headspace 10k) and also managed to shave 2 mins off my PB Hope you feel as chuffed with all that as I do!

[Couchphoenix Graduate10 in reply to Blackberrypie]

That’s a coincidence 😃 yes I feel well chuffed. Well done to you too... I haven’t tried the Headspace 10k, I’ll have to give that one a go in future 👍

I know what you mean. Last week found both a 4K and 5k run hard the a couple of days later I sailed through a 10k because it just felt right somehow !

Wow! This is absolutely fantastic 👏 2 mins off is huge! It is times like these where we look back at how far we've come and the progress we've made. This is a phenomenal run and a real testament to all the runs leading up to it! Well chuffed for you.
