So I have my first ever 10 mile run in the morning so far I have not ran 14km and I am so so nervous! I'm going to run in intervals if I start to struggle but I am so worried I won't be able to finish it I havnt trained as much as I should I've been on loads of holidays in the last 6 weeks and missed quite a few runs any words of wisdom ?

As with running any distance for the first time, take it nice and easy.
The thing that I have never totally mastered is refuelling for runs over 12k, but last time I did a 10 miler I started to rehydrate and refuel with dates from about 40 minutes in and it was the best that I have managed for energy levels at the end of the run.
You will have to experiment to find what works for you.
Relax and enjoy it.

Go nice and steady. Walk when you feel the need or just stop for a breather as required and you'll get round
Time goes fast on races so itl'll be over before,you know it. Enjoy yourself 😃

Are you doing the Yorkshire one? It’s my first ‘official’ 10 mile tomorrow too and I’m similarly nervous, although I have run that distance a few times in training. I can’t remember the last time I felt this jittery about something...job interviews have nothing on this lol. I’m going to take it steady and walk some bits if I have to. Good luck and enjoy it! 😃
Yes I am! I've done 9 miles before but not 10! I'm planning on walking where I need to and I'm exactly the same trying to take my mind off it but I can't! If you see someone vomiting with nerves at the beginning it'll be me!!

You will finish - and then you'll tell us all about it. Good luck.
Oooo I bet you manage this really well. If you have run 9 m you can do 10! Just go steady and enjoy 🏃🏻♀️😎
