I've just received an email from my virtual coach for the Bath half marathon and he wants me to run 9 miles on Sunday. Up till now I feel I've been playing . Suddenly it's serious.....,,,

[turnturtle in reply to Wristy]

Th

ank you Wristy. I have the route planned. I will just set out with the aim of enjoying the glorious NZ scenery.

hehe. I was training for a HM, and spent ages getting my distance up. Then I made it and thought woohoo I can do a HM. So I didn't do any more long runs for a few weeks. Then I found the sneyd pudding run and had to run 10 miles. To say I was worried was an understatement, but it was OK and I could have gone on if it had been a longer run.

So don't worry too much. 9 miles is a long way, but it's doable, and your coach knows what (s)he is asking.

9 miles? It's a bloomin' long way but, as we've said before, your Ironman's mum, so obviously you can do it! Have the best fun TT, you're running in one of the most beautiful places in the world

[turnturtle in reply to AncientMum]

It truly is. Even if I walk most of the way I am guaranteed to enjoy it AMum!
