Should I !? 10k tomorow

[Prettys073]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some thoughts please. I have a 10k in Hopeton Edinburgh tomorow, which j trained religiously for up til two weeks ago I was doing a 6k loop around my house four times a week. Then life got in the way and for the past two weeks I've done one run! I've also played football for an hour twice per week the last fortnight which I treat as interval training as I word harder then and burn more cals/heart rate up more etc. my question is should I just go and attempt the 10k tomorow? Any advice is appreciated!

You have been running a total 24km every week before your break. I would say treat the last 2weeks as a long taper and give it a go. You won't of lost anything and probably gained some as your break was not due to illness. Good luck and remember to enjoy it.

Thank you rfc I think with your encouragement I might just Go for it then! I guess I can always walk if need be. Thanks

Do it! I ran a half marathon with not enough training and it was grand - hurt more than it should have afterwards but that's kind of ok if it's a one off. If you have to walk a bit, you have to walk a bit - no biggie.

I would say do some stretching today then give it a go...if you struggle you can always walk.... good luck!!

You absolutely should. I'm doing an 8 mile run today that I haven't put the proper training into due to some aches and pains. But it'll be a fun event, and if you have to use a run-walk so be it.

Good point Ju! You can always walk some of it.

If you have been keeping fit then you should be fine

Good luck

Yes go for it, take it steady and enjoy! x

Of course. When you have a choice of run or not run, always run. If you can't run all the way, don't run all the way. Never stay at home unless under strict medical advice.

Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Go for it !

You have put the training in already, you are more than capable .

Its a 100% big fat YES from me.

Even if you have to walk some of it, its fine ! You will have a brilliant day , I am sure .

Enjoy it ! xxx

How did it go?

[Prettys073 Graduate]

I unfortunately didn't manage to go after all 😔 I also had terrible sunburn from the Wednesday that had me very dehydrated so I decided against it and have rescheduled for next Sunday's 10k in another town that I'm really looking forward to x
