Accidental 9.86 🥵

[BeetrootFace77]

Two new things today, not only did I run in rain 🌧 for the first time I also ran my longest run of 9.86km! I sort of enjoyed it 😂. I heard a rumour that there is such a thing as a 60 minute badge....or is it just an urban myth? 🤪

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your longest run - that's a great distance! 🙂👍 You so nearly hit the Magic 10k - I am curious as to why you didn't run that extra 140m?

You're right about the 60 minute badge - definately yours for the taking now and here's to ticking off 10k VERY soon! 🙂

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you! My route ended on a very steep hill and I’d no idea I’d run that distance until I was home 🏡. I’m going to do the same route soon and make sure I find that 140m on the flat 😂

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to BeetrootFace77]

Well that explains it! That 10 is pretty much in the bag I'd say. 🙂Rest up and enjoy the rest of your day!

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you, you too!

Fantastic run, well done. Not far off the 10k too. I am on the injury bench for a while. Keeping fit cycling most days. Hoping to get my 60 minute badge soon. I should have got it Thursday.

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to MoliJ]

🤦‍♀️ poor you, what have you done?

[MoliJ Graduate10 in reply to BeetrootFace77]

My right ankle has started clicking and aching after a run. Google has diagnosed tendonitis. I think it’s only mild and I am hoping it’s not going to get any worse. Not taking any chances. Going to rest for at least a week and do daily strengthening exercises. Riding the bike to keep my fitness up. Will assess the situation in a week.

Well done. To get your badge I think you have to post on this thread.

Wow well done!

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

Thanks Forest. Did I read one of your posts about a Garmin watch? I’m thinking of treating myself and not sure which one to go for.

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate in reply to BeetrootFace77]

Garmin are down at the moment so can’t access the data. I put strava on manually this morning. No problem with the watch it’s still recording. I’ve got a forerunner 35 which has everything I need at the moment and you can get it for under £100

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

That’s sounds good, I don’t want to spend a fortune! Are you able to see your distance on the watch while actually running?

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate in reply to BeetrootFace77]

Yes and time elapsed and pace. On the one screen. you can set alerts too. Mine alerts me every Km and every 15 minutes of a run. It just vibrates on your wrist and the face displays the data for a few seconds then goes back to overall distance, time and pace. You can set heart rate alerts too if your doing the heart rate training

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

Sounds fab! I’m sold 😀 Have a great Saturday!

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate in reply to BeetrootFace77]

It is and you'll love it 😍 you too

[HappyNoodle Graduate10]

Fantastic, run well done to you on you 60mins and so close to the 10k 🤩

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

Thank you. I was so close to 10 it’s silly 🤪

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to BeetrootFace77]

It’s perfect! Now you know you can do it without the pressure 😍

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

True! 60 minutes glory today and 10km glory next week 😁 Double celebration 🎉

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Well done, and I see others have replied re the badge.

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you 😊

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Brilliant way to get to 60 minutes - accidentally. 🤣🤣 Fantastic run - you'll be sporting that 10k badge on your next long run I'm sure!!!

[Hidden]

Fantastic run BeetrootFace and a great time too! So nearly at that 10k as well. You are doing brilliantly so I don't think that 10k badge is too far off either 😃🏃‍♀️🎉.

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Delly ☺️

[Roxdog Graduate10]

I love it. Accidental nearly 10k! Made me laugh because my one and only 60 min run was done 'by accident'. Proves you're enjoying your running!

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

😂 enjoying bordering on obsession 😂

[Roxdog Graduate10 in reply to BeetrootFace77]

My family switch off now when I go on and on about my running!

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Same 🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Congratulations that was a cracking pace for your 1st 60 minutes run. Hope you enjoy your shiny new badge but I guess it will soon be replaced by a 10k one. Happy running 🤗

[Dtay1978]

Excellent, well done 🥳

[Plutonium Graduate10]

Well done. Sounds like a good run.
