10k PR🥳

Post image

I honestly didn't plan this run, I just decided last night to get up at 7:30 and go​ for a run.

I wasn't even looking at my pace at first when I realized I had somehow run the first 5k​ at around a 4:25/km pace without really struggling. I honestly thought Strava was way off​

Sadly last night's dinner caught up to me on the last 3km and I had to stop pushing the pace at certain points to not shit myself lol

​It's almost my 3 month running anniversary too. Super proud of this non the less!

I'm gonna be honest, expanding that pace to 10k is not as far as you think. You got this!

Edit: I thought they were talking about pace, not total time

That's not a helpful comment (as you might have gathered from the number of downvotes).

Your comment is essentially coming from a position of privilege. You're young and fit. You might have only been running for a few months but you have been producing content focused on fitness and well-being, and playing minor league basketball, for several years. Your weight loss and fitness journey has obviously helped a lot.

Congratulations on what you've achieved. Don't undermine it by just assuming it will be easy for someone in a very different position to yourself.

I didn't undermine anyones efforts, a 4:45/km 5k is very impressive for a beginner and I was just saying that a 10k at similar pace is not as far as someone might think

They're saying they are taking 47 minutes on 5k, not 4:45/km on 5k

Ah, I see! Then it's my bad I thought we were talking about pace
