10 mile run ✔️😊…and a race next weekend!

[Sandraj39]

Building up my mileage again in preparation for the Great South Run 10 miler in October ( and hopefully a HM soon after if I can find one that’s not too far!)

Today’s 10 mile run was the first in a while, following on from my 14 k last weekend and I ran on a mix of road and trail.

For the last couple of runs I’ve been wearing some new insoles (Enertor) in my running shoes and…so far, so good! Not sure if it’s placebo or just getting used to the increased miles but my left leg, (which can be a bit niggly from time to time following an old injury) seemed less tired today.🤞

I have also entered a 10k race next weekend (my OH is doing the HM). A bit nervous 😬 as I haven’t done a real event in so long but I’m focusing on the bling….😍🏅🤞

Happy running this week to everyone.🙂

That’s a great run and great plan, the insoles seem to be making a difference too

Congratulations Sandraj39 that’s a great time for 10 miles!🏃‍♀️👏👏 Is the GSR only a few weeks away now? Eek! I’d better get some longer distances in then, but I don’t want to overdo it following injury. 😣 I’m looking forward to running it though, and hopefully meeting some of our HU chums too 😊🤞

Thanks David - 17th October so you’ve got a bit of time yet! I’m a little bit ahead of myself, which makes a change! 🙃

Great, well done for clocking up a 10 miler 👍😀. I am pleased the insoles are working well. Best of luck with the event next weekend- exciting 😊. I have a 10k Canicross event next weekend- our first real event! (Squiggy has done a couple of PR).

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to skysue16]

Yes, it’s going to be very exciting to run alongside other runners again! Good luck with your too!🙂

There’s a race tomorrow which I’ve run before and loved. Bit crazy as it was a sea of mud. Can’t do it though 🤨cos I’ve got to go to a bit of a do 😁. I’m going out for the day. It’ll involve being on my feet for a long time and eating lots of cake so I hope will more than make up for my missed race. She tells herself 😁

I was so looking forward to breaking out the Mizuno’s Hyate’s Sigh 😌
