Well after planning this route in my head last night and putting a post on here this morning I did it and it was a ten miler. Really chuffed though as lots of steep hills and main roads to cross. Got a park run tomorrow, hope my legs will be up to it.

Great run for you today Agelesslass, but do you think it's wise to go on another run, irrispective of what the run is. They say unless you have been running for over a year and or training for a half or full marathon it's not a good idea to run on consecutive days.

I know, but it was my birthday this week and my running club have arranged a birthday sash and a birthday cake for the park run tomorrow. I could just go and watch instead. Thanks for your concern AlMorr

You’ll be fine as long as you take it easy and don’t shoot for a PB. I run on consecutive days frequently now.

Great run today... I echo the above, recovery run attitude at parkrun would be a good idea.

Thanks so much, those hills were really hard work, I kept on saying to myself to keep going, I’m a really determined person, somewhat stubborn.

Only 10 miles? ONLY? haha. How far you have come :) Hope you enjoyed your Parkrun - you clearly had lots left in your legs after the 10 miles :D

Thanks Linda, yes I felt fine on my run this morning. I’m doing a 10k Cheshire run next Saturday, I will be training for that this week. I love it all, grab life while you can that’s my motto.
