Yep! It is true; 2 top layers needed for the whole run!! Ok it was only the addition of a merino top, but definitely a sign that cooler times are ahead. It was "set the watch for 10k and see what happens" Thursday. The result was another 10 mile run, with added hills navigated at a steady 8:04/k. The only way I managed to keep the pace down was by really shortening stride, but today it didn't feel so awkward, so maybe that is my long distance happy pace! Yesterday's swim may have loosened things up. Garmin says elevation gain was 143m, but I think that is just difference between maximum and minimum points and doesn't take account of the ups and downs in between? Who knows! Anyway, a nice run, with lots of pleasant people around. I see it as a 10 mile consolidation; maybe I will be ready to up it to 18k again next long run day, but I am not rushing up to a HM; that way lies IC I think. Coffee and brownie consumed๐, now for late lunch to make up all of those lost calories, and all is well with the world (unless you make the mistake of switching on the news!). Happy running folks ๐
The first two shirt run of Autumn! - Bridge to 10K
The first two shirt run of Autumn!
Yep, noticed it nippy out of the Sun.. ๐
Gosh, I must have toughened up, I was still in a tee shirt at 06.00 this morning ๐
Sounds like you had a great run though โ๐ช
A northerly breeze down here but still in one layer. Well done to another 10 mile beachcomber- it canโt have been a mistake first time round. ๐๐. It sounds like youโll get to HM with no problem - now donโt beat cheeky and Stanley to it though. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Woo, well done you too BC! I wasnโt in the two tops club today though - still shorts and a sleeveless vest for toasty little me! It needs to be ๐ฅถ for me to run with extra clothes. ๐ฅถ๐ฅถ
No HM yet? Bet you will eventually! Party gear is all lined up. ๐ ๐ ๐ฅณ ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ ๐
Good that the weather is now cooler for us runners, glad you enjoyed your 10 miles run today Beachcomber66, 18k next then HM, good luck for that๐๐๐
Thanks Al. Always nice to hear from someone further North than me!๐
True..bit of a chill!
I waited until about 10am after Iโd walked the dog to do my 10k (not miles!) today and was still in cropped leggings and short sleeves. Just chilled enough ๐
Only one shirt for me and I was hot by the end of my 10k!โ๏ธ
Iโve wore my merino on Saturday ๐ฅถ. Today was vest weather though ๐๐ ๐
