So delighted to report that I ran 7K this afternoon, the furthest distance I have ran to date. I have to say I have not stopped smiling!! Feeling proud of myself. I decided I would run round the park twice and not look at my watch till that point, which I did and was delighted to see that I had ran 6.30km. My timing was 41:12 and my splits were: 6:17, 5:57, 5:54, 5:51, 5:45, 5:44, 5:30. I really enjoyed this run and tried to keep my pace steady as was not sure I could do it, I thought if I struggle I can stop at 5k and will still be on track for the week. My knee felt fine thankfully. I have noticed that when I tie my laces extra tight it seems to make a difference to my knee. Had updated my playlist and really enjoyed listening to This is Me!! Feeling so motivated πͺand really starting to believe I will be able to run 10K. Thank you to everyone for all your inspiration and support, whilst running I kept thinking canβt wait to post an update to say I did it!!
Happy Running ππ»ββοΈ πͺπ»

Wow, 7K and you set a cracking pace, too! Well done. πππππππ
No way can I run at that pace! Well, maybe for 2K π. I only made it to 10K because it was slow π
Look how far youβve come! The Magic Plan suits you really well, I think the structure gives you extra confidence, but you already have the ability to get to 10K - you just donβt know it yet ππββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
Many thanks. Oh I was so excited when I saw the negative splits I must say I did think of you π and your splits ! I am still impressed that I know what splits are!!!
Oh no I have not heard of that, are they a different type of laces or is that the way you lace up your trainers?
Well done Rebecca on reaching 7k πͺπ» This Is Me is a great running song...Iβve got that one on my playlist and it never fails to get me moving. You will reach 10k Iβve no doubt about that ππββοΈ
Ah thank you so much that is really kind of you. Yes very inspiring and motivating I loved the film as well. Going to keep that on the playlist!!
That is fine much better than 9weeks2run Lol!!
What I like about this...
EVERYTHING
So lovely to hear through your words how happy and proud and motivated you are. Remember though that YOU deserve it because you go out, do the hard yards and are consistent. You should feel so chuffed ππππππ
Well done 9weeks2run. It's such a lovely feeling when it all comes together. Sounds like you really enjoyed it as well as being able to bask in the glory of 7k at a great pace.
Well done on the 7k, you wonβt have a problem with 10k at all. In fact if you can keep that average pace up then you could even do a sub 60min 10k which would be outstanding. Iβm currently working on my 10k time but still need to find a couple of minutes from somewhere....maybe one day with a strong wind to push me along. Still, it keeps me motivated. Keep Pushing on with the plan!
Wow look at those splits! You can do 10k and more ππ JuJu's plan is working its magic again, good luck with the rest of your journey βΊοΈπββοΈπ
