10 Miles

[TheTaffSnail]

Since completing Ju Ju's 10k plan at the beginning of August I've been adding a km to my long run every two weeks. This morning with the builders knocking walls down at home I went for a long run. I did 8k and then back home so I've reached my next milestone 10 miles! I'm so proud of myself and a lot of it is down to the inspiring people on this forum. When I started in March 5k seemed such a huge distance - now it's what I do when I tell my husband I'm going for a short run!

Well done TaffSnail. First things first, nip over to the Marathon Running and Race Support hub to claim your 10 mile badge! As you say, these distances seem more and more "doable" as you progress. Lots of protein and hydration and you will be fit as flea and ready for the next run in no time 👏👏👏👏🥇😊

Congratulations on the big 10. That first km was the hardest to add for sure. On my long run now I usually find myself thinking “just a parkrun to go”

[TheTaffSnail Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes when I finished I thought only a parkrun to half marathon!

Crazy isn’t it? When I look at 3 miles on a map it’s a long way, when I run it it isn’t.

Congratulations what a fantastic achievement

10 miles, how exciting and very well done 🏃‍♀️😀🎉

I've just finished Juju's plan so consolidating 10K at the mo but the idea of 10 miles does sound tempting 🤔
