After my 8k last week i wanted to try for 9k today- and the sun and woodland kept me out of the cold winds- so I just kept going!- My first 10K- YIPPEEEE!- followed by a 4k walk home 🀸πŸ€ͺ😱- got a much needed dose of Vitamin D en -route!! Well proud!

Bit of everything at the moment, trying to rest, with a few niggles, snow today/tonight, plus alot going on with my mum ☹ might try and get out tomorrow, if not too slippy.

Feel for you right now- don't risk injury if it's dangerous out there.

Yes, when I did the 8k last week, I just knew 10k was manageable - glad I got there today.

Thank you- I'm looking forward to them becoming the 'norm' !

And they can be if you want them to be. Take it slow and build up to more regular 10ks then progress from there. Everything is possible at the right speed.

I've certainly learned that on my progress through C25K and into 10k, I keep my pace slow and extend my runs just once a week and it's worked for me.
