1 hour run

[Doris8]

Hi did my 1hour run 7.47 km . Pleased 😀 I could did it especially at 7.00am freezing cold 🥶 minus7. Finger and thumbs numb . Have to invest in better winter gloves especially at these temperatures. Apart from that it feel good.

That was a very good but very cold run for you today Doris8, - 7C is 19F, yes your hands would be numb with cold, congratulations on completing it, many runners would have turned back home 7 metres let alone 7.47Km, well done, I hope you are now nice and warm back home

Yes thank you it took a wee while to warm up and thawed out but worth it to get my 1 hour runx

Take a hot bath and some hot cocoa. You deserve it!

Minus seven? It was just touching freezing here, but the air was so still that there was no chill at all, and I overdressed for running again. Oops! 😳

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Yes it was Baltic. Going to invest in warmer gloves in case any more cold spells up here in Scotland.

Probably that cold as well as 7 in morning. Frost never lifted much here. Even partner must have felt guilty when I went away cause he was away for a run when I got back and said he wasn’t going out. He ran 8km . Runs too fast for mex

Well done on your run Doris8 👍👏🙂, especially in those temperatures! ❄️ Hope you are properly thawed out now!🙂

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Yes all thawed took ages never knew how hot the water was in shower hands too cold. Now have ordered other gloves so hope will help. Thank ux

Ouch. That sounds painfully cold. Getting those miles under your belt might make your 5K times faster too.

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to Rennur]

Yes gaining strength. I felt good after the distance I done , took it easy and had a wee bit left at the end when finished, usually gasping. I will still do 30 mins runs through the week to see if I can get a wee bit faster. Thanks

Congrats on your 1hr run and in challenging temperatures, dedicated runner you. Happy running 🏃🏽‍♀️🏆

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to Catho78]

Thank you. I was determined last night I was doing this 1 hour run and prefer early morning run. I see you did your 10km a month ago well done. Keep running 🏃‍♀️x

[Catho78 Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

Great dedication, set your mind to it and you did it. Thanks. I’m currently training for a half marathon, my next run is aiming to be 13K 😬 but loving my long runs. I also like a tranquil early morning run, it’s an exhilarating way to start the day, especially this time of year lol.

Yes brrr🥶it wakens you up 😆
