2 weeks til 10K

Hi everyone, I've been lurking on the forum off and on for a few weeks now but thought I would finally say hello!

I am running my first 10K 2 weeks tomorrow and I would just like a little bit of advice as I don't think I've really trained that effectively.

I started training six weeks ago (was not completely unfit before this as have 2 great danes so did lots of walking). Started running 2K 4-5 times a week and built up to 3K 4-5 times a week plus gym a couple of times a week and last two weeks cycling to work so about 50 mins cycling 4-5 days a week. Problem is my 3K has got much easier but I'm not running it any faster or running any longer. Partly because I run in the morning before work and partly because I'm lazy

This am I ran 7.3K in 53 mins. Did have dog with me so had to stop for a couple of pees and poos but was a bit disappointed as had hoped to go a bit faster. What would people advise for next couple of weeks (do also have my hen weekend next weekend:eek: but am sure I will be able to get out at least one morning over the weekend).

Sorry this is so long!

xx morna

Leave dogs at home! If you're having to stop several times during a run; you're getting rests which you won't necessarily get during your race.
