Nearly to 10k!

Hi everyone,hope you are all well.

Anyway haven't been on here for a while,but today I ran 9k albeit on my treadmill without stopping. You see I had a quandary.I wanted to go for a run but I also wanted to watch the great north run. As a Geordie I never miss it,so I decided to watch it on my iPad and run at the same time on me tread.

It was great to see the old hometown and watch all of the runners running towards me as I ran towards them ha! I think I was the one going the wrong way ! I really felt I was actually there it was fun to do and before I knew it I was just over the 9k mark. My speed started at 5.5 and gradually got to 6.9. My time was slow but I didn't mind as I was just enjoying the whole thing!!

Anyway here's the photo proof!

Happy running all!😀😀

Thank you so much Tricky2836 much that means a lot ! I'm always hard on myself with me running and always always think I could of done better so to read that reply was great. I'm going to be 60 in Feb so I need to remind myself that I'm not as young as I was but that a side I still enjoy my running. I'm hoping to do a 10k next year.

Anyway happy running and thanks😀😀

What a great run, well done. 9K is a lovely distance and your pace was excellent.

How did you track it on your Garmin on a treadmill run?

[Hidden in reply to Beastie_MCCXIX]

Thank you so much Beastie and so pleased about you comment about my pace.

On my Garmin I'm able to turn my gps off and switch to indoors use only for treadmill only so what I actually get is the Km's,time,pace and calories,

Then when I'm outside I switch to my Gps as well as all of the above hope this makes sense.😀😀

[Beastie_MCCXIX Graduate]

Yes, I'll take a look at mine as I've just joined a gym and would like to track it.

[Hidden in reply to Beastie_MCCXIX]

I'm sure yours will do the same. My Garmin is forerunner 25.I'm not too up on these garmins,in fact I've only had this for about 6 months I think and before that I used a wrist stopwatch . This is much better I have to say! Good luck! 😀😀

Let me know how you get on!
