Lunchtime run wow that was hard

•Distance 16.70 km

•Pace 6:57 /km

•Time 1h 56m

After an aborted attempt last week due to watch failure 😅 I decided to have another go at a 10 Mile run today.

After my 5 min warm up walk off I went. As I jogged along I realised that even though my Samsung Health app was talking to me it wasn't telling me when I achieved each kilometre. Luckily the route I took I had run before so I could guess where I was up to 6K. After that I had to work out my Kilometres covered by the time I had run as I guessed I would be running at about 7.5mins a kilometre. I carried on running and eventually checked my mobile which I had set to record my run on Strava and I found I had done 12.4K. I just needed to run home on the 6K route and I would have achieved my goal of 10 Miles. Eventually I had covered 16.7K and found my legs were like jelly but hey I had done it. I can't tell you how happy I feel this evening as I sit resting after my mammoth run.

Ohh and how do I get my 10 mile badge please admin?

Thank you unfortuately I only got to 9K last week 😩

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Looks like you ran on the Portway Nannyshirl! That’s one of my favourite long run routes too; it just eats the miles up. 👏👏

Really well done on your epic 10 miles. 🏃‍♀️ 🎉

[Nannyshirl 10 Miles in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Yes i did and then around hotwells and the centre, up baldwin street, around queens square, and then prince street, cumberland road and back down the Portway. I must admit i was completely done by the time i got to roman way

Reminds me of my most recent run: I couldn't rememer the details of the route from two months ago so ended up running through the middle of Yate shopping centre.

I spent a Sunday morning last September standing in the middle of the Portway (as a marshall on the HM).
