Super Proud, Parkrun Sub 26 PB and just done my first ever 10 miles run!!

[Hedgehogs123]

I hope I'm allowed to say how proud I am of myself, on Sat I did ParkRun in 25:58, which was unbelievable for me, and this morning I've achieved my goal of doing a 10 mile run. The run on Saturday was great as it felt good and not like I was dying at the end and today, the route was so beautiful along the river, even the swans were willing me to do it!

Anyone who's done the 10 mile run with Coach Bennett will know he then throws in some sneaky fartlek at 7 miles, which threw me a bit but I gave it a go and managed just fine. Never ever thought I could run 10 miles in one go.im grinning like there's no tomorrow!!!!😁😁🐾🐾🍾

Congratulations Hedgehogs, 10 miles is such an achievement. Enjoy that feeling of achievement. I was running with coach Bennett yesterday too, but just a grateful 8k for me. I love that he throws little surprises in every now and then.

Well done on your parkrun PB too

This is so lovely to read 🌟 A really wonderful 5k time followed by a quite brilliant distance in ten miles! Ten actual miles 🥳😁 is such an achievement. I mean driving it takes a while and you ran it. I really hope you are still pleased with what you've achieved 😊 🥇

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10 in reply to GTFC]

I am, I can't believe I did it, and I felt really good whilst I was running! It's lovely though to be able to share it on here, most of my friends don't really understand what the fuss us all about, they think I'm mad to run 10 miles anyway. As you can gather none of them are runners!!😁. I'm hoping I can call myself a runner now and not just a jogger! 🤣🏃‍♀️

[GTFC Graduate10 in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Love this!! So true about friends that don't run or aren't interested 🤣 There are such lovely people on here 🙏

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Well done, congratulations HH! 👏👏👏👏🥳🎉 I didn't know that about the 10 mile run on NRC so thanks for the heads-up! Not that I'm going to be attempting that run anytime soon 😅

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Hey, I tweeted Coach Bennett ( as you know, my secret crush!! 😆😍)to thank him for guiding me through 10 miles, and I got a lovely reply!! My other half couldn't understand what the fuss was about with getting a reply, so I tried to explain how we all adore Coach Bennett, well, my other half just rolled his eyes and shook his head!! 🤣🤣

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Oh wow, Coach Bennett got back to you?! 😍😍😍 He sounds like such a great guy! I can imagine my other half would have a very similar reactions 🤣🤣

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10]

Thank you, I must admit I was really chuffed with myself.. Re Coach Bennett, Haha yes cheeky devil sneaked that in when I definitely wasn't expecting it!! 🤣🤣🏃‍♀️
