Still pushing on post Magic 10K Plan 💪

[PhoenixRise]

Without ju-ju’s Magic 10K Plan I would never have got this far! Thanks 🙏🏻 ju-ju-!!!

Bridge to 20K - Week 3 Run 3

Funky Dance House Playlist 💃

NRC - Ten Mile Run 🏃‍♂️

16.33K 🎯

May I have my 10 Mile badge please? 🙏🏻🤩🙏🏻

I only went and done did it! 💪🔥

Managed to miss the rain for the whole run too which is an added bonus! Back to the promenade today - perfect for the longer runs, refreshing!

Felt good right up to the 8 mile mark then I had a little reaction to the word ‘Fartlek’ used by the coach in the NRC guided run.

That reaction was ‘SERIOUSLY?’ 🙄🤷‍♂️

But, I accepted what the coach wanted after a few swear words and pushed my little legs on! Pleasantly surprised that I had any gas left in the reserve tank to be honest - and I was pushing against a strong head wind on my return journey! 💨🏃‍♂️ The prompting has the desired outcome - shaving seconds off of my average pace for the latter miles.

I hit 10 miles and felt like I could carry on just that little bit more so as to round off the K’s to 16.5K. Can hardly believe it - I’m still buzzing!

Straight home and in to a steaming hot bath 🛀 to stretch and relax! 🧘‍♂️

The week ahead is a scheduled drop back/rest week. Not quite sure how this will look until (if) I lace up but it will more than likely be chill with a couple of 2.5K and a possible 5K.

Happy running all 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Thanks RacingintheStreet 🙏🏻 This running malarkey has kept me (almost) sane! Best of luck with the B210K - it’s an amazing plan! 🤩

[RacingintheStreet Graduate10 in reply to PhoenixRise]

Thanks 👌 and yes, for me, I find ‘running away’ for 30 minutes is the perfect antidote for those days when world seems on on fire 🙏🙏

[Maz1103 Graduate10]

Omg amazing run. My first 10k today at ave 7.43 pace today seems very slow now. Well done

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Maz1103]

Thanks Maz1103 🙏🏻 Congratulations 🥳 on your first 10K 💪 Amazing achievement/milestone and not at all slow!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

This plan obviously suits you it’s amazing how far you ran

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks WillowandSola 🙏🏻 I hope you’re both doing well 😉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Yes thanks, we ran both days this weekend but not very far

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Glad to hear you’re both well! A run is a run! Distance is irrelevant 😉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Really long distance would be good but trying to fit round work the shorter distances and times suit us

When we ran 8k we did nothing for the rest of the day and i had to iron work clothes first thing the next morning 😂

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

The longer runs really take some planning and time out of your day don’t they? Honestly, I’ve not done much else today! Besides 🛁 and food 🤭

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Yes they do, maybe when i retire i can take more time for running,

[Juliet202 Graduate10]

Wow, you are really raging ahead !! Congratulations !

I had another ‘first’ today - I actually overtook someone for the first time !!! I’m no longer the slowest person in the park !! 🥳 (have to take encouragement wherever one can !! No I don’t want to know their back story - if I found out it was their first ever run or they had already done 20 miles that morning, I’d still be happy that I was faster !!)

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Juliet202]

Thanks Juliet202 🙏🏻

Yay! You overtook someone! 🏃‍♀️💨 You speed demon you! Absolutely, take encouragement wherever you can! Love that you don’t need their back story 🤭 I’m exactly the same! Whenever I’m passed by a runner I say to myself ‘They’ve just started their run - good for them!’ 😂

[Tinytears60 Graduate10]

Wow!

That’s awesome! 👌

Well done you! 👏👏👏

You left me eating your dust off your trainers

👟 👟

Really great watching your progress tho - those gremlins can’t catch you Mister speedy!

Need to celebrate 😀

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Tinytears60]

Thanks InspirationalTinyTears60! 🙏🏻 The gremlins are now harmless friends 🤭

[Tinytears60 Graduate10 in reply to PhoenixRise]

They sure are with a pace like that!

Brilliant! 👏👏👏💙
