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.

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! 😊
