Longest run & fastest 10km!

[clairer6873]

Yey! I'm so pleased with this mornings run. My longest ever run (10.76km) and my fastest 10km (60mins, 10 secs) 🏃🏻‍♀️

I'm so determined to get to 11km on my next long run! 🤞🏼

My aim is to be able to run 10miles🏆

Brilliant run for you Clairer6873, however, this is the wrong forum, this forum is for runners who have ran at least 10 miles or more, if you post your run report to the Bridge 210K forum, tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K, then you will see the words Graduate10 next to your username.

I think she's already got that badge.

Sorry, my bad. I thought this is where people posted when on the journey to longer runs, hence mine over 10km (although only just!)

Congrats, Clairer on aceiving your longest run to date! I'm sure you'll be able to do 11k and it seems that your journey to 10 miles is going well.

[clairer6873 in reply to SkiMonday]

Thanks 😊

[nowster Metric Marathon]

Well done! You're on your way to 10 miles. From this point, just keep extending little by little each week.

[clairer6873 in reply to nowster]

Thank you! I'd love to get there! 🏃🏻‍♀️

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to clairer6873]

It's definitely possible. I did my first 10km in early February this year and my first 10 mile run about six weeks later.

[clairer6873 in reply to nowster]

Wow, thats brilliant 👏 I'm sure it'll take me longer than 6 weeks but I'm really hoping to get there!🏃🏻‍♀️

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to clairer6873]

To be honest I probably overdid it a bit. I had tight hamstrings and glutes, and my body was instead using a different set of muscles (adductors on the inside of the thighs), which got a bit sore. A physio visit identified the problem.

Well done great achievement on your way to 10 miles brilliant 👏 👍 keep going you'll be running that half marathon before you no it, just keep extending them miles it's all about distance not speed, I entered my first official 10k race last week only been running since January ran my PB for 10k 57.55 how fantastic I felt anyway keep it up and smash it💪💪👊👊..

[clairer6873 in reply to Stocksy67]

Amazing, well done you 👏 nothing beats the feeling you get after a run does it!

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Awesome! 10 miles is in your future, 100% Claire! 👏👏👏

Well done Claire - and yes, you are definitely in the right place! 😀 I post here and on the Bridge to 10k…and still love popping on to Couch to 5K sometimes too! That’s a great run and a fab pace for your 10k! 10 miles is a good goal.

Top tip for the first time you run a bit further - drop your pace a little. It will really make a difference and your pace can become more of a focus once that distance is consolidated.

Happy running! 🙂

Thanks Sandra 😊 pacing myself is something I need to get better at, I tend to set off too quickly! Thanks for the advice.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to clairer6873]

Me too!🙂

[Snail_Male Marathon]

Great pace. If you can do 10km at that speed then 16km a little slower will be around in 6 to 8 weeks if you just add a little a week. And every week you'll set a new distance record!
