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 πŸ˜‚. I heard a rumour that there is such a thing as a 60 minute badge....or is it just an urban myth? πŸ€ͺ

Congratulations on your longest run - that's a great distance! πŸ™‚πŸ‘ 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! πŸ™‚

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 πŸ˜‚

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

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.

πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ poor you, what have you done?

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.

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.

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 Β£100

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 profile image
ForestGrump6360minGraduate 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

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!!!

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 πŸ˜ƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰.

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!

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 πŸ€—
