Saturday was the first 10k of the year. I got to see parts of Buchlyvie I've never seen before. The race was a bit of a slog but I got there! #Buchlyvie10k #Running #10k #MedalMonday #Buchlyvie #Scotland

Five Ten Kilometre Runs Later
Reading Time: 3 minutesRecently I ran with the goal of getting above the fog and I succeeded. The result was a 16km run. Since then I have run ten kilometre runs four more times. In the process I have shifted from not seeing myself to seeing myself as more of a runner than before.
Last year I couldn't run five hundred to eight hundred meters without my knees hurting. Instead of trying to run far I just tried to run as far as I could before I felt pain, and then stopped. With time and persistence I was able to run further and further.
The 5K plateau
For a while I reached a plateau at 5km. I didn't run to run further out of fear that I would overdo it. Through this thought process and logic I gave my body time to adapt to running. I gave muscles, ligaments time to get used to the sport. Now I am seeing the reward.
Seasonal
Over the summer months I was really enjoying group bike rides but as the relaxed groups stopped for the winter season, so I had to ride with harder groups. It's not that I can't keep up, but that keeping up exhausts me. When I rode with the Saturday group two weekends in a row I ended up exhausted and I didn't enjoy it.
I like to cycle, but I don't like to race. I want to ride comfortably, and when I start to fade, it would be nice if the group slowed down a little.
As I write this, the relaxed groups are not relaxed either. They also enjoy riding hard, but at least there is a break during which to recover, in theory.
The Running Advantage
Although I run solo at the moment, now that I can run 5k consistently it is worth considering joining running groups. In effect I have opened a new sporting door.
An Example of Running Freedom
Yesterday people were meeting at the Nyon Skating rink and I had the opportunity to run there, rather than walk. I was thinking of running via the Port de Crans and then back towards Nyon but chose instead to go via the route that took me towards the Aérodrome de Prangins and then back towards Nyon via the lake.
I ran 12km and arrived to the skating rink before some of the others. There was one slight error in judgement. As the group that I had run to meet were not all there at once I spent time in the cold.
I was dressed for running, not standing. I got so cold that my fingers were tingling. If I ran this again I would take a thicker jacket with me, to wear once I stopped, as well as a thicker hat.
I had planned to run, say hello, and then walk home, but as the group arrived later than anticipated I got cold.
The irony is that when I was running it was warm enough to open up the layers in places. It's when I got to the giant block of ice, and with the lake of ice, that I cooled down.
Hot chocolate didn't help as much as I had hoped.
And Finally
Now that I can run 10km at a time I can run the routes I used to walk. Instead of devoting two hours to a day's walk I can devote an hour, and by spending an hour on a walk I gain 40 minutes to do something else. It also gives me the freedom to run from Nyon to Gland instead of catching the train, or other towns and villages.
It's because I feel no pain or ill effects that I now feel comfortable running 10km, rather than five. We will see how far I run by the end of summer.

“Andreas Almgren of Sweden ran the #Valencia #10K on Sunday, January 11th, in a time of 26:46, which represents a win, personal best (PB) and a European record. British runner Eilish McColgan also ran to a new European record in the race, clocking a new PB of 30:09”
“One week after Jana van Lent had lowered Paula Radcliffe’s European record in the 10km, McColgan took it back” https://athleticsillustrated.com/andreas-almgren-and-eilish-mccolgan-set-new-european-10k-records-in-valencia-on-sunday/
People LOVE calling sub-40 in the 10K “elite.”
And like… I get why. It feels elite. It hurts. You suffer. You earn it.
But then I look at this screenshot and I’m like… wait. hold on.
2,513 people went under 40.
Out of 14,000+.
That’s not a tiny little unicorn club. That’s… a whole army.
That’s a fast race doing fast race things.
So… what is elite to you?
Is it a time… or just how hard it felt?
San Silvestre Vallecana 2025 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Resultados de la carrera Internacional y Popular
Un año más, la San Silvestre volvió a ser Vallecana y Madrid llenó sus calles en la última tarde del año para celebrar la 61ª edición de la San Silvestre Vallecana. En una jornada marcada por la alta participación y un ambiente inigualable, la española Marta García y el keniano Geoffrey Kamworor se coronaron como los grandes triunfadores en el Estadio de Vallecas.
Vallecas volvió a ser el epicentro del atletismo mundial este 31 de diciembre, con más de 42.000 corredores inundando las calles de Madrid entre la prueba popular y la internacional, la "Vallecana" demostró por qué es la carrera de 10 kilómetros más especial del mundo.

I CLOCKED IN A 10K BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR!
So so happy, I didn’t think I’d make it in 2025!
I was going for a light 20 min run, and felt like going for another lap… and another… and here I am!
First 10k race is done with a chip time of 1:11:46 which I’m very pleased with since maybe two thirds was running on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare and I was dressed up as Father Christmas. Great atmosphere, great support from marshals and spectators and a brilliant medal (my first so the bar is low but it is actually rather good). The coffee we got at the end might have been the worst I have ever had however!
Enjoyed the upper 20d F temperatures for this mornings #10K race. Thankfully there was no wind. Course way laid out around the #Kansas Speedway, a NASCAR racing track in Kansas City, Kansas... not on the actual track but a ring road around the whole stadium. Two laps around for the 10K.
I was happy with my pace. Took it easy this week with the mileage and was happy to see the results.
Going to do a half marathon next Saturday - I hope the weather will be kind.
You know, I found out a few weeks ago I'm #allergic to #gold. I'll still wear it because all my stuff is #10k and #14k and alloys bother me less, and #24k is hardly sold anymore nowadays. I'm pretty sure I became allergic after looking at photos of how #DonaldTrump has decorated the #WhiteHouse 🤢 #TackyDecor #badtaste #isitreal #goldallergy

Kauf ich mir eine #Laufweste, oder nicht? Ich laufe jetzt etwa #10k. Ich weiß, dass es nicht davon abhängig sein sollte, aber die Laufbubble ist manchmal komisch (auf anderen Portalen, hier sind alle lieb)
Et voilà , une semaine après les 20km de paris , c'était les #10kmParis15 ! temps officiel 54'39 😁 Bon dimanche les mastonautes ! #run #running #runnersofmastodon #sport #motivation #photo #selfie #medaille #10km #10k #sunday
Better run than I thought this morning, after a nasty weekend!
I’ve changed my perspective on runs. Instead of seeing them as “how much do I perform” I now see them as “how well can it prepare me for my next run.”
It helps me focus on my posture rather than my pace, and that’s exactly what I need!
So, this happened today... #RunReigate #10k #Running
