Nailing the 10k is a launchpad to run further if you so wish. No need to run 10k three times a week though. Always mix things up to suit your work/life schedule. Always remember to rest as well
I wouldn’t buy socks too small, just better socks. Maybe a running ankle sock or crew sock would be preferable to a no-show sock which I find are more inclined to disappear into your shoe as you run. Read the posts about socks here are there’s loads of recommendations
Enjoy your running. Take care and have fun out there 🙂
Congrats on your fabulous 10K! That is a wonderful achievement. For me, it opened my eyes to the fact that anything is possible.
No - please don’t even think about running 10K three times a week! I think the general advice is to mix up your runs. One run - speed work (Fartleks or intervals). Another run - a medium length run at conversational pace. 5K maybe. Your third run could be your long run - here’s where you can run a 10K if you like! You might want to gradually increase time on your feet on this run.
Now you can run for 10K - of course you can post in this forum! You might be like to help other runners on their journey. There is another forum, too - Running Beyond 10K and Race Support. They would welcome you there, too. And of course the ever present Strength and Flex forum, as it becomes more important than ever as you run longer distances to do strengthening exercises to help prevent injury and improve your core strength.
I can’t help you with your sock question, it’s not an issue I’ve ever had to deal with!
