New PR for 10k

[RosesAreRed777]

Whenever I set out to try for a PB it doesn’t really happen for me. It’s when I am not really thinking about it and boom it happens!

Today I set out on my monthly 10k ( something I challenged myself to do and have kept up since July)

I wasn’t on a mission at all and every last 10k has weirdly been 1 hour 8 mins +/- seconds. So today I wasn’t expecting anything different just keep an easy steady pace. However I did feel in the zone and was running well. The good type of run where you feel like you could just keep going so I stretched it to 10.5km. My longest run so far and lo and behold I managed a PB

1 hour 6 mins. Feeling very happy!🎖️

Congratulations to you RosesAreRed777 on that 10.5K PB, of 1 hour 6 minutes, if you keep going with running a 10K at least once a month you might be able to get a sub 60 minutes 10K in the future.

Ooh yes that would be amazing! I aim to keep it going so who knows! 👍🏼

Thank you ❤️

Wow - that's excellent!

I pressed some random button the other day and from just being able to run 6k, I was seeing projections at distances up to marathon! I've no idea how I got to it, but I was kind of freaked. I wish I could find it again as I know I'd be nowhere near your time for 10k!

[RosesAreRed777 Graduate10 in reply to Gthants]

Slowly slowly we make progress. Funny, marathons and half marathons keep creeping into the corners of my mind too, before they quickly get swept away with my ‘don’t be ridiculous broom’! Never say never!

brilliant! Well done 👏👏👏👍

Fantastic, well done 😁

[Sax64 Graduate10]

That's brilliant, well done, you should be super proud. 👌

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Absolutely super news-congratulations! Those kinds of runs are the best-we all live for those! You deserve to be super proud of yourself.

It sounds like you’ve built a great base of running if you wanted to think about a half marathon. That’s what I did after 10k and I loved it. If you’re even tempted a bit (which I can see you are!), why not have a browse around the Fun Beyond 10k board? You’ll see a lot of the same names over there. Super friendly and it doesn’t commit you to running any particular distance. It might provide you with some inspiration and ideas for the future.

Thank you 🙏🏼

[Fiadh79 Graduate10]

That's amazing! Well done. Can I ask what running you do apart from your monthly 10k? It sounds like a good challenge!

[RosesAreRed777 Graduate10 in reply to Fiadh79]

Sure, currently apart from a monthly 10k I am running 2x 5k per week as a minimum through winter. Will aim to do longer runs 3 times a week when the weather gets better.

[Fiadh79 Graduate10 in reply to RosesAreRed777]

Ok. That sounds like a good schedule. I might think about something like in a few months.

[Week7 Graduate10]

Love It when that happens !! Congratulations 👏
