Can I claim this as a metric HM 😂

[Run46]

13.14K in 1hr 30 on a beautiful cool and sunny Sunday morning...feel like I'm well on my way to that 10 mile mark, though I was very happy to see my front door and stop at 13K today! 🏃‍♀️

My calves and the backs of my thighs felt tight so I was good and after stretching and strengthening I got the foam roller out to try to loosen things up.

I've only used it for a week so am still getting to grips with it and am pretty uncoordinated, but I do feel like it is helping, so definitely worth the discomfort! 😏

Looking forward to a late breaky and a couple of lazy hours on the sofa now to recoup 🥓🍳😊

Ha ha! Although I hate to say it, as a fan of the metric system, we must stick to the 31.1 mile half marathon 😊😊😊

EDIT: Ahem, 13.1 miles... 🙄😄

But still, well done!!!! And not much further to go for the 10 Mile badge xxx

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Ooh Eck! No, don't do that 😂😂😂

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

You can't say I didn't try 😉xx

Nice run... congratulations on the metric half, there are a couple of runs around for that distance. Under 3k to the big 10 now.

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Are there really, lol...I was just after another badge 😁

[UnfitNoMore Metric Marathon in reply to Run46]

Yes, I know there’s one in Edinburgh... must be some others around.

Great run - well done! Definately a good idea getting friendly with a foam roller! I think mine really help - I have a large smooth one and a small bumpy one!!😮🙂

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks, I thought it was time 😉

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Oh yes Run46, 10 miles is definitely calling your name. You’ll smash it for sure!

Well done on your extremely impressive 13k in the meantime. A great distance. 👏👏👏

Thanks CCM 😁

What a great start to the day that was. Impressed by your stretching and rolling regime too! The 10 mile badge will be yours very soon - then maybe that imperial HM will start calling out to you 🤣

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda...lol, we'll see 😂

Not far from that 10 miles now Run46 - keep up with calf raises in between runs and that should help, and keep to a steady pace on the long ones

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy...calf raises and eccentric heel drops (which I only found out about on Juju's plan) are a godsend 👍🏃‍♀️
