A 10k isn’t horrible. I wasn’t in the mindset yesterday which made it feel worse mentally but I just took a few extra walk breaks. I’m not sore like I am after longer distances. If you can do a 5k, you can do a 10k. Don’t expect the same pace though. If you ever listen to guided runs they talk about the different paces. 10k pace is a little slower and more relaxed than a 5k.

Ive never done a guided run. I guess i use runkeeper that just shouts out run/walk. Is that what you mean?

Under training on runkeeper you can select guided runs and it has a ton of options. My favorites are the one done by coach Matt. The person is talking to you not just yelling run/walk lol

I broke my 5K sunday streak this past weekend. I was hurting so bad. I’m not sure what I did but my back was flared up bad. Every move I made had me wincing in pain. Very grateful to be feeling better today. Just having the normal amount of discomfort bugging me

My longest run so far. A very slow pace. I’ve only been running for a few months now, but it was an important run for me because I am practicing keeping my heart rate down and trying to keep a steady pace (except the end, I got a bit excited and did a small zoomie
)

I like how Strava broke it down. Garmin didn’t do it like that 
Some solid work this morning
It was a wonderful 62F. 50-60F is some of my favorite running weather. Not too hot but also not too cold
