I set out early-ish this morning and was surprised by how mild it was. π₯οΈI don't normally listen to music when I run, usually nothing or talk radio. With everything that's going on at the moment I couldn't face listening to talk radio π»so decided to try the Autumn HUHM&10K Spotify playlist which had some interesting choices (The Wombles? Took me back to childhood that one). I think the music distracted me from keeping more of a consistent pace so I did flag a bit during the last 1.5k. Maybe that was due to a lack of hydration though. π° Having got to 9k I thought I'd just plough on and I'm so glad I did!! πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ I'm really happy with this milestone and achieved it before the end of this year so I'm on target. βΊοΈπ I plan to run between 8k and 10k for my Sunday long runs to consolidate. Happy running everyone.
10k - I've only gone and done it!: I set out... - Bridge to 10K
10k - I've only gone and done it!

Wow! I bet that feels great! Well done!
Thanks. I've been stressing a bit because I only did 2 runs this week but I realise I just need to go with the flow. The extra rest days must have helped.
I found 10ks a nice distance (I got injured and haven't run that distance in a while). A nice short run in between is good and best not to pressure yourself to do a 10k every week at first. Really good luck with your runs!

Congratulations on your 10K buzzards , and you can blame me for The Wombles. Remember you're a Womble was my late brother-in-law Paul's choice for the final song at his funeral. If I'm finding a run tough it helps me put things into perspective. Also, the fiddle-playing is great!

Congratulations on completing your first 10K, well done, to get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked December Graduate10 homepage and tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K π π.

Oohs well done!!! Huge congratulations!
Yes, I did find that having 2-3 day recovery days before a 10k really helped running my 10ks . Enjoy!!!
Thanks, I may stick to 2 runs a week for a while. The last couple of weeks I've been really tired and skipped my Friday runs. I like to do 3 runs a week for consistency but I need to listen to my body and be guided by it. I think more strength work and yoga will help me.

Congratulations on your first 10k π₯³ππ»ππ»ππ»π Thatβs quite some distance! Look on a map and see whatβs 10 miles away as the crow flies and youβll be amazed! π²I run one 5 or 6k a week and one8 -10k per week depending on time and the route I choose. I struggle to fit in a third run with work and family. Itβs become quite comfortable now and I never thought Iβd hear myself saying that! π²π.
Congrats again β
