10k #6 and 2nd week of my plan complete

[CBDB]

Just back from my 10k run, which completes my 2nd week of my 10k consolidation plan!

(Just missing the Pilates planned for this evening)

And it’s my 6th ever 10k run! 😃

The run was ok this morning, it felt consistent. I used the Podrunner 150 BPM podcast music, which is just slightly above my relaxed running rate of 145 BPM. But it did give me the opportunity to focus on light-on-my-feet and fast turnover running. It is 150 BPM all the way through, and this consistency was probably why I ended up running (according to Runkeeper) the fastest of my six 10k runs so far.

Even more curious, as the run just felt like a solid run, not the greatest and not the most exhausting. In a way, it’s a great result. When a “solid run” gives you a personal best, then there is probably a good chance that you have the capacity to become faster.

The next week in my plan (week 3), I will need to stretch over two weeks probably. I’m hosting international guests all week at work, with all the usual evening outings, so I don’t think I’ll be able to squeeze any runs in. So I have a vague plan of running a 5k next Sat, than I have half an annual leave day on Tuesday after where I could squeeze in a 10k, with a shorter interval following on the Friday after. Of course this means week 4 might start with a 10k on a Sunday, hoping that rather than the usual 7 days, here 4 days are enough time to recover between 10k runs.

Anyway, I’m waffling.

Happy running everyone, and for me it’s

UPWARDS AND ONWARDS TO WEEK 3!!!

Very week done on your 6th 10 km and your fastest. I like how you have everything worked out on your spreadsheet it looks very technical. I’m not as technical as you I try and go out a walk every day with running in my walking twice a week, as I did today a 10 km. 👏👏🏃‍♀️

Woohoo!! Another 10k! Fabulously well done.

Yes, I love my “ahead” planning. I do not recall runs afterwards as clearly as others, so I do love planning ahead before any runs! 😅😂😊☺️

Ha, I agree with Black Scorpion - show them the sights and fine hospitality on a 10K run 😁

Congrats on your PB!
