I ran a full 10K earlier today after 3pm, no walking breaks or pauses. I kept a nice easy pace and finished in a time of 1:11:18. It felt great, I was comfortable and enjoyed the nice easy paced run although I was surprised that I was 50% in Zone 4 and 50% Zone 5 according to Garmin Connect. For some strange reason my run did not push from Garmin Connect to Strava. It was my first 10K in a year. Amazing, now that parkrun is back I have a drive to improve again, get my finish times down and increase my running. I lost my motivation over Covid times but itβs back. My legs feel tired, looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.π

Very well done ! ππ

Damienair is on the road again. πΌ πΆ π΅
Well done you, especially after doing a speedy parkrun yesterday. It sounds like normal life has come back with being back to work and visiting family again.

Nice to see you've done it, after giving me the motivation to do it sooner rather than later.
Well done!

Excellent run and time for you today Damien, especially after yesterday's parkrun, not long before you can run a sub 60 minutes 10K. πππΎ

Yay! Well done!

Wow, very well done!

Well done

Well done on your 10k damienair ! Good also, that youβve got that motivation back.π
Well done Damienair π Iβm slacking for now as re cooperating after my frozen shoulder op Wednesday! Happy running and Iβll be back ASAP !!!!

Great run there... well done you. Back on track!

Great to hear you're back to 10k distance Damien - well done!

Sounds like you really enjoyed the run βΊοΈ well done π

Really good news Damien ππππ

Amazing well done!

Itβs always a great feeling when you get back again π€ Well done Damien, enjoy the return π

Well done Damien, I thought it wouldn't be long before you ran your 10k, and very good time too.
Congratulations, hope to follow in your footsteps before too long. Best wishes βΊοΈ
You'll do it, I did the version of The Crossing the Bridge Gang method myself a good few times before to get to 10K. Just adding 500 meters per week onto a long run works without pushing you too far. Good luck.
Hi Damien, yes I feel I can do it (10k) but post lockdown, with other activities resumed to schedule in, I'm only regularly fitting in one run a week so it's holding my plan back a bit.Never mind, I'll make the best of it!
Ran a 5k yesterday so that can at least be a 'not Parkrun' ; I'll add it to the Parkrun thread.
Have a good day. π

10k does that, makes the legs feel tired, fantastic though to have run that far

Well done! ππΌππΌππΌ

Well done! I initially misread the screen at the bottom as saying "Call 911". π€£
And Strava was really flaky on Sunday. At times I couldn't even pull up my own profile.
