Since finishing the magic plan three weeks or so ago, I have been out running each week but hadn’t really done a run beyond 7km. Today however, with a day off work i decided it was time for a longer run, so set off with 10k in mind. First 1-2km’s were hard mainly because I felt very stiff in my hips (too much sitting) but by 3km all felt good. Settled into a steady pace and by 10km felt like i could add that extra 10% to make it my first 11km, so pushed on to 11k in 71mins, which I am quite happy with, especially as the splits are quite consistent. That means I have now clocked up 22km in four days as I ran on both Saturday (7k) and Sunday (4K), didn’t plan to run on both days but my wife wanted some company on her run on Sunday. What between 22km and an hours yoga last night I think I will take the rest of the week off.....I certainly know I have event that bar of chocolate as a treat now !!!

Fantastic effort heading beyond 11k, such a confidence boost. Happy running 🤗
Thanks, still amazed I ever made it to 5k, so anything beyond puts a smile on my face !
Expect lots of future milestones too, you are a fast consistent runner and just need to decide your future goals - speed, distance, monthly targets. You can do it 🙆🏼♀️
Thanks. You are right I should think about my next goal as it was 10k, will aim for 15k next I think ! Then se where I go !

Wow! Great time - well done! Definitely go for the chocolate, you've got to replace those calories somehow...
