10k+ again

I’ve tried to stick to the plan but it’s no use! Maybe I should try measuring my new routes before I try them out? This run was easier than the last one and I went a little further. There wasn’t so much cross country, but the road section was really noisy - I much prefer the off road experience!

But you did a nice sort of "acorn" thing at approx 5 o'clock, so that's good :-)

I was just going to say that perhaps if you missed out the acorn thing at about 5 o’clock then perhaps it would be nearer 10K? (Wouldn’t make such a cute route map though...) 😃🏃‍♂️❤️

That acorn is a figure of 8 hilly section that gets me warmed up, which is about 1/2 a mile - but you’re right I could lose that bit to shorten the route 👍

I use mapometer on the computer to plan routes to find one of a suitable distance. You can either follow roads or not (or a combination on one route). Wouldn't recommend trying to use it on a phone though as screen is too small to see what you are doing.

Or you can use Strava to save routes too.

Thanks for that tip! I have tried to map routes with Strava but find it can be a bit tricky on footpaths that go across fields, especially if I’ve never walked that path before. I’ll give mapometer a go - many thanks!

That’s useful info about the route planning - I’m hovering around the bridge because I don’t know how to work out the longer routes - that sounds ridiculous now I’ve written it down!!! Need to stop being such a wuss!
