HUHM virtual 10 miles and a PB!

[Run46]

After a week of short runs following my HM and then 2 weeks of slow Zone 3 HR training I wasn't sure how ten miles would go down!

I needn't have worried, it was great to let my legs loose and until the last mile or so I felt pretty strong. 🏃‍♀️

After managing a decent pace for the 1st 10K I decided to stick with it if I could and push for a PB, which I'm pleased to say I managed 😅

Bottom of my left foot is aching a bit but apart from that on going issue I feel pretty good...great start to the day! 😊

Fantastic Run46 you clearly enjoyed that and worked hard for your PB🙂👍 It’s amazing how much more we can do than we first think we’re capable of!😀

I’m glad the slow running training worked out for you, as I’m doing the same😊

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to David_G]

Thanks David, running a decent paced 10 miles wasn't exactly in the plan at only 2 weeks in but I'll pick it back now...hopefully I won't have set myself back!

How are you finding it?

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to Run46]

I’m not doing too badly Run46, still getting used to concentrating on my heart rate rather than distance/pace 🙂 It’s harder than you’d think, isn’t it?😟 I’m also doing faster runs and intervals for a bit of variety!😊

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to David_G]

It is isn't it, I'm starting to get used to it and have stopped feeling so frustrated when I have to walk for a bit to bring my HR down!

Good luck with it 👍

Very well done, R46. Hope that achey foot is nothing too serious. Maybe take it easy for a couple of days.

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thanks Stephen, I will do...bit of a massage and some rolling on a ball has already taken place 😏

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Fantastic Run46, and so soon after your amazing HM too! You are one heck of a strong runner. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Aww thanks Cheeky, I just keep slogging on and when Roseabi asks for volunteers I'm daft enough to put my name down 😆

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

And me! I’ve already announced on here that I’ll be doing her virtual HM. Just why?! 😅😩😅

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Lol, because we're bonkers 😂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

Oh yes! 🤪🤪🤪🤪

[TailChaser Marathon]

Wonderful run Run46, well done on the PB! 👏👏👏

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Thanks TailChaser, they're few and far between these days...remember the good old days when we 1st started running when virtually every run was a PB 😁

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Run46]

Yes!! I know exactly what you mean. I was looking at my early Parkruns the other day and there was a 3 pb streak 😅 Those were the days! 😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

A PB! Really well done to you, sounds a Sunday morning well spent 👍🙂

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks IP, it was great...not that I've done much since, except taking a nap 😆

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

Sounds perfect!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Fabulous, you're a seasoned runner, you can take anything in your stride and smash it - well done. (Loved the photo and hm medal on an earlier post) x 🌟👏👏🥳

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Thanks 😊, I see you've got yourself a HUHM v 10 mile badge yourself too 👏

How are you getting on, still planning on a HM? Xx

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

I'm planning on the hm in October. 🤞 I just sign up for the virtual race that you entered, your medal is great.

I thought of you today as I drove past your home town! 😊👍

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Fab, best of luck with it...you'll love the medal, it's so light you could wear it all day 😁

Hope you were going somewhere nice 😊

[Kevin41 Half Marathon]

congratulations - a PB is always a great reward isn’t it!!! Top running!

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

Thanks Kevin, yes they're few and far between these days, the icing on the cake 🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Woohoo!!! What a fantastic run. The low HR training has already given your legs a bit of a rest and you made the most of it pushing on for the PB!!! I'm guessing you prefer to skip the badge again? but will add you to the Woohoo board now.

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda, I was thinking the same...too early for the lower HR training to have worked as it were but it had me starting out fresh 🏃‍♀️😊

I'll take the new badge please...as long as I get my HM one back when this is all over 🤔

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Run46]

Done. And you most certainly will!

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda 👌

[Hidden]

👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant ! Look at you 👀👀

A PB too for this distance is absolutely brilliant and totally deserved!

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, it felt good...but will be nice to get back to the nice slowww run later, my heart will thank me 😁

[Wimborne Half Marathon]
