Anyone else new to 10k

[Thetallestsunflower]

And fancy chatting and sharing tips about our progress. I haven't actually entered one yet but I am going to look for a local one in Autumn.
I have been doing 8-10k on the treadmill but went out and did 10.6k in 65 minutes on Monday.
Weather permitting I plan on trying to get out tomorrow but if its hammering down I will do a shorter run on the treadmill and get out on Sunday.
Is anyone else at this sort of stage with a 10k. Do you do any other exercise or just run. I have only been running lately as its what I enjoy, although I do the 7 minute workout a couple of times on non gym/running days. How many times a week do you do 10k? I don't think I could manage it more than twice as its hard going so was thinking 2x 10k and then 1x 5k

Enter one now! You could do a summer one. Easily!

Ive done a fair few and its my ideal distance but I have done a couple of HM.

Go on!

I feel like this is going to be my ideal distance working up to maybe a half-I can do 5k but I will never be able to do it at a quick pace. I am going to look into it-I managed my second run today in just under an hour :-) .

I enjoy it so much I forget all the every day stresses and switch off. There's no way I could do it without my music on though xx

Oh music is for me too! Its great to build up to a HM. The more you do the speed will increase. Really.

Im trying to do more 5 ks to speed up. But I hate them. Prefer distance. But they do help as I did 7 miles last week in 64 mins. I was amazed! So keep going. Vary the pace/speed and you will easily do a HM.

Do you have a local 10k for the summer?
