I had actually forgotten about the Strava November to 10K until I just looked at the stats after my run today haha 😁

My intention was to run more than 5K,

How much more I had not planned as you can see by the splits, I started a bit quicker than I would have liked for a longer run so started to slow it down incase I wanted to go long (8 or 10K)

It felt good today , nice and cool , I had the tights on and long sleeve running top and a very light windproof hi viz jacket , oh, and gloves .

This was perfect for the first half of the run , I was being very conscious of my form from watching the James Dunne video !

All things I was aware of but it was nice to have the reminder fresh in my mind on the run .

I had done around 4K when I decided I would run for at least 10.

It's been a few runs now since my last 10k so needed another one .

At around 7K the gloves came off !

And a quick drink of my 'High 5' energy drink .

I got wet in the process as I kept running πŸ˜‚

I was approaching my house at around 10K so decided it was a good time to bail out , I could have probably carried on but didn't want to risk the knees ! there were absolutely no knee niggles ! Happy days 😁

Perhaps I can now start increasing the distance again .

Right , what's for lunch ! 😁

Well done, Ian! A great 10K to meet the Strava challenge, even if you had forgotten about it πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I haven’t mastered the art of drinking while running! I used to have to stop completely, but I can now manage it while walking. Progress!

Enjoy your well earned lunch! 😊

I either get wet, choke on the drink or both!

Haha, sorry, shouldn't laugh ! If I'm cycling then I need to stop or I'd fall off haha πŸ˜‚

If I’m cycling, I don’t even need to try and drink to fall off πŸ˜‚

I can’t wait till I can run 10km must feel such an amazing achievement 🀞 🀞🀞. What is your next goal?

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply to9weeks2Run

I will probably build up to 10 miles but no rush , I need to be careful with the knees.

I did a 12 k , but that was some time ago now

Fantastic! Sounds like a great run and the fact that you could have carried on suggests these 10ks are feeling comfortable.Having a little rest seems to have done you good!

Good that your knee niggles have gone away - so have mine. Very odd.

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toRoxdog

Yes, I don't think my little rest did me any harm , put me back a bit but that's fine , I'm not in a race πŸ‘And yes, strange about the knees , I was half expecting it around 8k, but nothing 😁

That's a nice bit of abstract art on the map trace there. I can't work out what it's supposed to look like. πŸ˜†

I know, just didn't want to run twice round my exact 5k route πŸ˜‚

nowster profile image
nowsterGraduate10β€’ in reply toInstructor57

That's something. I haven't at any point so far done laps over the same route. I've been lucky enough to be able to find circular routes of slightly greater and greater distance. I've even got a couple of 10km possibilities plotted. (Not that I'll need them for at least a month.)

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply tonowster

Oh, I have a few marked out , but this route starts 5 min walk away from the house , so it's convenient 😁

nowster profile image
nowsterGraduate10β€’ in reply toInstructor57

All of mine start 5 minutes from my house, too. Some need a 10-20 minute walk back at the end, though.

So pleased you managed another long one - it's been a while - and glad that there are no repeat of the knee niggles 😁 It sounds like you might be getting you mojo back πŸ‘

Sorry - I missed this one yesterday. I had a stressful couple of days with house related stuff and was so relieved to eventually get out for a run at 2:30 yesterday afternoon.

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toBirdlady64

Thank you ! Yes I hope my mojo is back .

It's easier when I'm not working so we will see when I start working again next Wednesday

I haven't seen what the new Tiers will look like yet - so I assume driving lessons can restart across all the Tiers? It is much more difficult when you are working, but must be a bit of a relief for you

I'm a bit late to the party so to speak but adding my congrats on your 10k with no knee niggles and well done on capturing your mojo during these testing times. Onward and upward Ian πŸ˜πŸ‘
