Headed out for my 9km run this morning but reached the end of the 10km trail before mapmyrun thought I had even finished the 9km. πŸ˜‚

Excellent effort well done. When you head out for 9 there doesn't seem much point not just doing that extra km. What are your plans now?

Think my plan is to stick with a short run, a 5k and a longer run (variable) each week. Not planning on upping the distance any time soon.

Great idea, longer runs can wait until the worst of winter is over. Enjoy your own distances. I love just going out to run rather than running to a plan but the plan was so important to get to this point. Happy running

You'd almost think you were doing these deliberately...🀣

Well done on another great effort. The first 10k is special, but the second one is the one that convinces you the first wasn't a fluke and that you actually can do it. After your setbacks earlier in the year, I'm so happy for you that you're ending it on such a high note.

Love that feeling on any run when you think, ok that must be eg 5k and you've done 6k or more. Of course we've all had those runs when we've looked and its a lot less than we thought. Swings and roundabouts! Wish I had some runs like you have near me, would love to go running without thinking about traffic and routes!

Not what you're looking for?
