Yeah I'm so chuffed to have ran my second 10Mile this morning πŸ‘

Just plodded along at roughly 8min per K keeping it slow.. first 3K in and I started settling in.. felt my pace was nice and comfortable, started drizzle rain around 6K and by 12K it was pouring!! 🌧️

This just made me smile..bring it on I thought, feeling strong here I even had aspirations of making it to a HM 🀣🀣🀣

By 14K I was looking forward to the road home and those last two and a half K were tough πŸ˜…

I think there's a bit more training to be done before then πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

But really happy to have achieved 10Miles again...πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Home , stretches done, and a lovely hot bath..and feeling like a champ πŸ₯‡

Happy Running all πŸ™ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ₯³

You are doing amazing! Sounds like a brilliant run. I think you will be completing a HM before you it πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Got my first 10K race in a couple of weeks, so think my longer runs will stay between 10-14 don't want any injuries or burn out before then πŸ™„But yes maybe by end of next month,all being well πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ

That's brilliant, and one more than me, i've only done one 10 miles, really slowed up with the running at the moment, did a 6.5km last night, first run in two weeks, but actualy got a 5k PB 35:50 so i guess the fitness is still there! 🀣

Ooooh well done sparky! That’s brilliant. And congrats for keeping going during the last 2 or so k - sometimes it’s all we can do not to flop on the ground and just lie there! I’m hoping to do my 2nd 10 miles on Sunday - I need to find out if the first one wasn’t just a fluke or a figment of my imagination 🀣. You’re doing so well, hurrah!!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Ooh good luck with yours on Sunday, I'll be routn for you πŸ’ͺπŸŽ‰πŸ‘

Congratulations to you sparky66 on completing your 2nd 10 mile run, I have only run that distance once, however, I am working on doing it again shortly by increasing my Wednesday run by 2 kilometres a week, up to 10K it was by 1K a week but I think from 10K to 16K, increasing my distance by 2K a week should be fine.

sparky66Graduate10β€’ in reply toAlMorr

That's a good plan AlMorr, and you run loads so you should be fine πŸ’ͺ

Yeay how wonderful...that is brilliant πŸ‘πŸ˜€...can I also mention that the "steady" pace impressed me too...it's my regular easy pace on a good day πŸ˜€

sparky66 profile image
sparky66Graduate10β€’ in reply tobubblebird123

Thanks Bubblebird 😊The 8 min K pace seems to be my comfortable pace on a long run.. gets a bit slower around 12-15K then I always try a burst of speed (well push) the last K to finish πŸ™Œ

bubblebird123 profile image
bubblebird123Graduate10

You are welcome 😊...I seem to settle nicely at just above 8km but it seems to get me further with less of the niggles. I will wait and see how that changes when I'm ready for my next 12 k and hoping to hit 14/15k by end of July...nervous but excited
