Well done.

You very nearly breached the 10% rule used by most experienced runners to limit their weekly increase in their training load.

We are all capable of doing way more than our bodies are conditioned to do, but not without increasing our injury risk. Sticking to gently progressive training plans is the safest way to push our limits, whilst gently increasing our resistance to injury.

Take care.

Thanks for the advise ,I did push on probably to much but I was just quite enjoying it
