I did it, I completed 10km without stopping and my leg pain below 5/10!I was very good and kept it sensible and the effort level very similar thought-out 6-7/10. Started at the back with the 70 min pacer, but gradually passed lots of people, caught up and passed the 65 min pacers halfway and kept going at the same effort throughout not worrying about pace. Knee hurt a couple of times on the downhillsbut managed to run through it, legs, especially quads started hurting about 8km in but I could see the end the other side and knew I just needed to keep pushing at the same effort until the end and not be tempted to try and go quicker and catch anyone else. Came in feeling really comfortable fitness wise and not particularly out of breath. Got it done! Xxx
Fantastic running darling. To run 62 mins and feel strong and in control shows the fitness levels are good. We just need to keep building up more strength so the legs can continue to hold out. But a massive positive this one. Proud of you. A few less points as we didn’t do strides etc which are included in the 10k plan. But that’s all. xxx
