A slow 10k to start the day

[Jericho2332]

Good morning runners! A very happy Friday to all 😁

Bright and early 6am start this morning, decided to go for a 10k. Took about 3k to get warmed up but went smooth after that. Slow and steady is the best description! 6.24/km average pace so not breaking any records but getting through the 10k felt good. Couldn't have gone further and was glad to reach the finish, how I was running so far in January I'm not sure?! 🤣

Have a great weekend everybody 👌🏻

That’s dedication- up at 6am and 10K in the bag already- Jericho definitely holds the Gazelle King crown ! 🤴 🦌👍🏻

Is it possible to blush from reading?! I think I just did 😂 thank you, far too kind!

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Very impressive - early rise, gazelle action then a victory post - all while I am on my second cup of coffee. Go you!!!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you, I hit the coffee as soon as I got back! 😂👍🏻

Well done on that early morning 10k. I've been thinking about running first thing in the morning again now the days are getting longer. I enjoyed it last summer when I was doing the Magic Plan

Slow? That's speedy in my book!

Thank you, I love morning running! Especially now springs creeping in, the sunrises are worth it alone 👌🏻

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Impressive! 👏👏👏 Well done you, that time in the morning the most I can manage is a trip downstairs if the dogs are begging to be let out 😂

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you! being a morning person is definitely something I became with time 😂 didn't appreciate or often see them in my younger days 🤣

Nice one! 6am 10k 💥💥beaut of a day for it, too. Glad you're flying the flag for the gazelles and knocking those 10k's out at your more, ahem..leisurely pace 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

🤣 thank you! It did feel a bit easier than previous few runs, hopefully corner turned 🤞🏻

[Peter44 Graduate10]

Sounds a good one, blimey, you call that slow 🥵 for me, jan seems a long time ago, when i was doing 7/10k's for fun! 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Agreed mate, I don't know how I was hitting the miles I was in January! Must have been a new year runners high 🤣

[GailXrunning]

‘Slow and steady’... ??? Not very ‘slow’. Im nowhere near that pace when ‘fast’! 😂

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Slow relative to my faster pace, I can be a minute a kilometre faster than I was today. Just taking it easy though as running like a maniac isn't best option when trying to really enjoy the run 🤣🤣

[GailXrunning in reply to Jericho2332]

That’s true... wherever we are relative to ourselves!

[Indielass00]

And he’s back! 😀 Well done with your 10K 🙌🏻 Bet it felt good 👍🏻

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Indielass00]

Better than the last few that's for sure! 👍🏻

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Well done! 👏👏👏👍 I would be happy with that average pace on a 5k run! Actually, that would be a miracle 😂

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you 😁 I was more pleased that it felt slightly easier than the last couple weeks of running, don't think I'm going to worry about pace much next few weeks, try to just run easy and enjoy it 👍🏻

[Jools2020 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

That sounds like a good plan 😊
