Iβve done it. 13.1 miles in 2hrs 38 mins, no walking but some very slow running π.
I had never gone beyond 10 miles before and was having a bit of a mental block to be honest, Iβd done 10 miles 5 times. I decided to use a βspokes of a wheel β approach i.e 3 x 3k out and back from a central point, followed by a 3.1k finish. Iβd planned it so the finish was on the footpath Iβd started my C25k journey on last May and it worked!
The RunGo app with all the lovely motivational tips and the great Spotify playlist helped amazingly. I hope the organisers realise what a truly wonderful job they do. Canβt wait to hear everyone elseβs story. Happy running π
