😃yeah my Second 10 Mile 🏃‍♀️

[sparky66]

Yeah I'm so chuffed to have ran my second 10Mile this morning 👏

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 😅

I think there's a bit more training to be done before then 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

But really happy to have achieved 10Miles again...😃👏💪🏃‍♀️

Home , stretches done, and a lovely hot bath..and feeling like a champ 🥇

Happy Running all 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃🥳

[Mormor1 Graduate10]

Well done Sparky, are you upping your game still at every long run?

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Mormor1]

I just get through it as comfortably as I can 🤣

[Dups Graduate10]

You are doing amazing! Sounds like a brilliant run. I think you will be completing a HM before you it 👏👏👍

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

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 🙄But yes maybe by end of next month,all being well 🏃‍♀️💪🙌

[Peter44 Graduate10]

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! 🤣

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Hiya Peter, glad to hear you still out there running 🏃 💪Fantastic PB👏👏👏

Im about 30 seconds behind you on my 5K PB 🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Brilliant work Sparky! Of course you can make it to HM 💪

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks, just about recovering now 😊

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Congratulations! 😊

[nowster Graduate10]

Well done! I last did one in mid April. I'm working back up to it.

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Thanks Nowster 😃I wasn't sure whether I'd set out intending the 10mile just knew I wanted a long run and see how I felt.. so pleased I kept going to reach it.. ...🙌

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

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!!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Haha so true Frenc, I really did work that last 2K 😅I even managed a whole minute off my first 😆 don't care how small but it's an improvement 😜

Ooh good luck with yours on Sunday, I'll be routn for you 💪🎉👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

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.

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

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

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Hi Sparky66, you are the first to know that I have just completed my 54th (not.) parkrun in the best time this year of 32.31, I am quite happy about that.

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Wow AlMorr that's some achievement!!Huge congratulations 👏👏👏

That's some dedication 🎉🥇

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Thank you very much sparky66, it's nice seeing PB next to my name on the not parkrun website. 😊

[Wisekat Graduate10]

Full of admiration! Great achievement 🏃‍♀️🏅

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Wisekat]

Awe thanks!!!

[bubblebird123 Graduate10]

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

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to bubblebird123]

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 🙌

[bubblebird123 Graduate10]

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

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to bubblebird123]

That's how I see it.. keep it steady and we get there.. xx
