Amazing! Running any distance is something to be ridiculously proud of. A 10k ain’t no joke either.3

That first 10K is a great feeling. See you at 13.14

Congrats! 10K is my goal distance.1

Well done! It is a great feeling, that first 10k (so's that first 5k, that first running for 5 minutes...)
Makes me want to go strap my running shoes on0 -

I won't be a quick to congratulate you. While it is awesome that you ran 10k it can also be foolish if you've never run more that 5k to suddenly double your distance. While I encourage you to run longer (half marathon?) I caution you to take it easy. Get a good plan and don't over do it. Unfortunately, running injuries just sneak up on you when your body is stressed.
Good luck.4 -
Well done. How long had you been running before that. I started running beginning of Dec and managing a 5k per week + other activities a couple of other days. It still hurts so much, I’m hoping it will get easier soon. Congrats 🥳0

for the newer runners, follow a plan. you won't hurt so much and you will lower your risk of injury.1

If your running hurts, then something is wrong. Exactly what is wrong depends on what hurts.0
