Don't worry, nobody's going to chuck you out of here. Lots of us do the occasional stretch to 10k, lots of us are happy round the 5k mark. If this is your happy place just stay here. We all like reading your posts so don't leave us
Sorry if it wasn’t clear that there’s really no pressure to move anywhere. People like to post in different places during their run journey. It really was just for useful information that the “Fun Beyond 10k” board exists and you’d be welcome to share some of your runs there if you wanted to.
Just to add: lots of people are members of several forums; it's really not a question of leaving one and moving to another. And the Fun beyond 10K forum isn't about forcing people to run more than 10k, it's supposed to be a place where more experienced runners can explore options and find support for running in ways that they enjoy, whether that be running longer distances or not.
Yes 😀 Let's be clear, though, you can be a member of any forum you like, it's a choice, not an obligation! I find that reading the About section of any forum helps me get an idea of whether it's for me or not.
Good morning lusmo 🙋♀️there really is no great hurry for you to jump straight over to the over 10k forum. When you feel in yourself that it’s time to do that then do it until then stay here a while longer…. no rush at all
This looks like a great run and a good distance well done.
I felt the same as you about “moving over”. I’m sure I must be wrong but it feels a bit intimidating and I think I will feel like an imposter unless I regularly hit 10k or more mark - perhaps something to aim for one day when I have more confidence ?
I promise you we have no imposters! Anyone and everyone is welcome. All you need is an interest in running ... it's true we talk about entering events and running beyond 10k ... but we send a lot of time doing neither 😊 In y case, I'm not even running at the moment🙈 Feel free to lurk and hopefully you'll see we all have a touch of 'imposter syndrome' and our fair share of lack of confidence, as well as a fair bit of inspiration and useful information 😊I suspect that either none of us are imposters, or we all are 😍
I echo all the above! The really important thing is running what you want to run. Not titles of forums, or which forum you 'identify with'. Join them all, lurk, post, ignore ... the choice is yours. HU should work for you, not the other way around.
First and foremost, enjoy your running, then secondly cherry pick your way around our forums. You're here to have the most fun you can and the forums are simply here to support you😊

Longest run for 2 months.
Fast (for a snail) 7K
Quick run report and start of my “30min to 5k plan”
Insomnia and running, not a good mix!
