After the Adidas treadmill challenge last Saturday, I joined the 10km event in the Globe Run for Home yesterday (Sunday). It was my first 10km event in quite some time due to my hamstring injury last year… lately I’ve been only running 5-7km on a treadmill.
I wasn’t able to push myself like I do on the treadmill since I was a bit hesitant, though I am happy with my performance. I finished in under 55minutes which was my usual time before; but the amount of effort I used was significantly lower compared to my previous 10km attempts. The damage on my body was significantly decreased as well thanks to my training on the treadmill. After the run I felt like I just finished a light jog which was a first for me.

I’ll be more confident in my next 10km race and maybe start chopping away at my time and reach the 45minute below mark within the year… hopefully!
