Following my HM on Wednesday, I was rather surprised to run all the way on this. I had expected to do run/walk, or at least have some walk breaks, but after a slowish start I felt quite good and just kept running! A strong wind after I turned round to come home slowed me down for a couple of KM, but I just kept plodding.....thinking of you lot all running with me! I even managed to speed up a bit for the last KM.
1 hour 28, I'm happy with that.
Hi CG. That’s doubly impressive that you did right after the other run. Very well done.
Thank you xx
Well done, especially so soon. TBH I think it is more mind over matter. I went for 10 the other day and failed because it was like I gad done a HM so what more was there? I had to do a bit of a mind reset. So well done for stepping up to the mark.
I just kept thinking - the other day I still had 12 k, 15 K, 10 K or whatever left to run...also I tell myself I've just started and feel fresh - sometimes it works sometimes not!
I usually find that I've had enough when I reach my target distance. Reckon it's down to either a/ an exact balance of training, nutrition, pace and effort or b/ a psychological effect. Whilst it would be nice to think that it's a/, I reckon that, in my case, it's mostly b/.
I know what you mean, it's like you psych yourself up for a particular distance...
Big congrats! 🎉🎊🍾🥳 woohoo 🙌 You can be very happy with that! Brill!
I am! Still room for improvement, but for today I'm happy!
Nice one, especially with the headwind on the way back and your HM in the week. Sounds like you set your pace just right at the start!
Well done for toughing it out!
Well done Curlygurly2 and so you should be proud....very proud xx
That's a fab run! Just amazing after the HM just a few days ago!!!
