Hi - just wanting a little advice from you lovely people. I managed my 2nd 10K on Saturday, my first was in November but then had to isolate for 2 weeks so I built myself back up after the break. I remember my first one, I had to have 2 rest days because my legs physically wouldn’t run 🤦♀️ so I’m wondering whether to try a little run today or just wait and go for a 5k tomorrow? Anyone with any similar experience of this?
2nd 10K : Hi - just wanting a little advice... - Bridge to 10K
2nd 10K
I’d wait another day tbh.
Itchy feet though isn’t it 🤣
I’d leave it for another day. I always allow at least 48 hours between long runs. Go for a walk instead.
I did a very slow 2k and it loosened my legs off. I’m going to do a nice walk tomorrow then back with a short run on Wednesday 😊
Thank you both 😁
Well done on your 2nd 10k, i did my first 10k, last week, was quite stiff, the next day, especialy my calfs, did a short 4k, having had a days rest, in between, and felt much better after the short run. It's funny, sometimes when i have two days rest, i really miss not having a run, still cant believe i'm saying that, having only started running, in sept!!! 🤣
Wow! 10K in 3 months! 👏👏👏 amazing! Well done you! I started in July and managed my first in Nov! Crazy how you just get the bug isn’t it!
Mine was a pretty slow 10k, took me about 90 mins!!! 🐌
10K is a massive achievement! I have a friend who is obsessed by speed which is great if that’s what you goals are but I’m happier with adding distance than speed! I think my first one was around the 1hr20 mark and this one was 1hr 9 but I felt slower 🤷♀️
