My first half marathon - I think 🤔

[Raspberrypink]

Hello all, this is the first time I’ve posted on here. Ran my first half marathon on Tuesday. It was a lovely sunny morning but but too warm. Tried to go at a more steady pace. At around 7 miles I noticed my phone was low on battery 😩. I had to turn strava off at 11 miles. Completed 11 miles in 1 hour 50, 10 minute mile pace. I continued to run for another 25 minutes so pretty confident I ran 13.1 miles. Only problem is there’s no record of running that far so I’ll have to do it all again 😳. Happy running all 👍🏼

Oh how annoying!!! Sounds like a fab run, amazing, congratulations!!!

Would you like to claim your half marathon badge or would you prefer to wait until you've recorded it?

[Raspberrypink Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you Linda. If you don’t mind I’ll wait until I’ve recorded the full half marathon distance 😊

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Raspberrypink]

Of course we don't mind ... I just didn't want you to feel you couldn't ask because you didn't have evidence. It will be nice for you to see it confirmed in black & white!

Fantastic achievement, well done. Time to get a watch perhaps, although if you don’t keep them charged up they can fail 😩. Looking forward to hear about your next one 😀

[Raspberrypink Half Marathon]

Thank you. I have a fit but but it doesn’t seem to accurately record the distance. That’s why I use strava on my phone but yes it may be time to get a different watch 👍🏼
