I've just gone and done it. Thanks to all the support here and hubby for running last 2 runs with me. He's helped get myvspeed up to 6.39/km. 6deg out, choose new route along canal - shaded side dug. That's a 20deg drop from week 7 in menorca. Celebratory tea and cake - cake lasted 30seconds.

Thank you. I could have done with 2 cakes but followed it with a swim so that was a perfect celebration.

Thanks I need to do consolidation but definitely want to try for 10k at the Cape Wrath challenge next May. Hopefully this gives me long enough but no pressure if I don't make it or just walk rather than run.

Congratulations Gtb! Fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserving of cake! Enjoy those consolidation runs, see you on the Bridge to 10k forum (though I still haven’t got to regular 5ks yet - well, a girl has to have a target!). πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ†

Thank you, targets are great. Realising I've wasted 10 years of gym membership due to not liking it and having few targets. Running is great - so far πŸ˜€
