I posted a few weeks ago after I was struggling with 10K. I received such kind and helpful words which made me feel very grateful, so thank you to all for your continued support as investment in me! Between then and now, life has got in the way, with several family members very ill with Covid and high stress from my work leaving me exhausted mentally.
However, I have continued to plod away, although half marathon plans are on hold for now, as I do not have the time to run longer distances at the moment. Squeezing in what I can when I can! I am confident the HM will come with time, sometimes one must just accept the circumstances of life!
For now, I run 5 miles (just over 8K) at the start of the week, two 5Ks towards the end of the week and a 10K at the weekend and it has, as you all said it would, become easier!
I am chipping away at getting my 5K time down to 25 minutes (ultimate goal would be 24.59!), currently sitting at 27 minutes, and I have managed to get my 10K in under an hour but not looking to push it further than that.
Thank you again, and stay safe.
