Good Morning fellow runners πŸ™Œ

I have a challenge on my Garmin to run 80K in April,

After a great 10K this morning I'm at 48K

so still quite a bit to go..two 6's two 5's and another 10.. doable if all goes well πŸ™

This was my 4th 10K and today I set off at 7am after waking at 6 itching to get out there 🌞 it's a beautiful Morning here and was lovely and quiet on the route I took today.. the views were stunning I should have paused to take some pics, but I don't like to stop..like to run continually..for fear I stop I wouldn't start again πŸ˜†

It was a really good run.. focused on my posture more and happy to say it really helped..my hips and back didn't get achy and my legs felt strong, I managed a personal best again and my last K was my fastest πŸ‘

Can't believe 10K's are becoming regular..and I actually look forward to them 😲

Home had a lovely hot bath and feeling fantastic πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ…

I find that 10km is a nice distance too. You've plenty of time in the rest of the month to reach your goal.

sparky66Graduate10β€’ in reply tonowster

Yes I seem to be liking the distance, just taking it slow, getting to find that easy pace.. a few more under my belt in the coming months and I can see them being my favourite ☺️

I've done a few now, and am working to longer distances. 10km is a good balance between the more intense shorter distances and the slow burn endurance needed for the longer distances.

More coincidence! Destined to be twins πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ πŸ˜‚ This was only my second 10k, though. I’d say from experience to date, that like this distance a lot (also really enjoyed 7, 8, 9) . I’m having to take care on a knee niggle so I’ve tried to ease off a bit from these longer distances since my first 10. Today was a bit of an aberration, but I was just so happy to be out in the early morning sunshine and concentrated on taking things very gently.

Thanks Dups, just in from a very slow 5k .. don't know why it was so difficult this morning, but it's done and counted πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

Excellent, yes they all count. Well done πŸ‘I’ll be doing a short one tonight after work as I did my second 10k on Sunday. Wanted to know if the first one was a fluke πŸ˜‚ so I am definitely planning a slow slow 4K 🐌

sparky66Graduate10β€’ in reply toDups

Brilliant, good luck on your second 10K, just remember set out slowly..it's a long way.. i find if I set out slow..then I have more stamina and usually have a faster second 5K πŸ‘
