Well after my 10 Mile run on Wednesday,it was a 5K on my schedule today πŸ˜ƒ

Right from the off I felt so much faster and couldn't believe when I managed to keep that pace up all the way around!!!

I really felt my whole body had shifted a gear up.. breathing was steady and legs were strong 😁

Smashed my previous PB by 1.10 πŸ‘

And the first time all my laps have been under 7 min/ K and all negative splits as well 😁

What a way to end my week πŸ™‚

So chuffed πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Happy Running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

I've found the same. Running longer distances often increases the pace of the following shorter runs.

Excellent stuff, well done! Running longer distances will certainly up your short run game πŸ‘πŸ»

Having a lovely time, thank you. Managed 2 early morning runs so far - it’s lovely running by the beach. Not trying to break any records, but trying not to lose too much fitness! 😊
