I did the first 10k (slowly!) on the trail and yes, it was so slippy, which is quite hard work isn't it? Then back on to pavements for the next 4, which was quite a bit easier to run on! ๐
Yes it is definitely hard work. Even in good conditions with firmer ground, running on trails is tough peddling. We have an exaggerated running style on uneven ground to avoid tripping which burns more energy - I think.
I am thanks Dunder, although I still feel I have a fair amount of work to do! I would like to cover the distance before race day, just so that I know I can do it! Always lacking a bit of confidence in myself unfortunately, despite running giving me more than I had before!๐
Wow, that's amazing - well done! Well, probably for you it's not amazing, but I can't even conceive of running that distance! I'm sure you will be ready for the Bath Half - is that a trail run or road? Great stuff!
The Bath Half is all on road, Annie. I really want to prove to myself I can get the distance! ๐ฎ I did a 10 mile road run (Great South Run) in October so am happy running on road, although trails are where my heart lies! And, it is still hard work, but always worth it!๐ฉ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐!
