Draycote 10k

[Katnap]

Windoze and I survived a blustery trot around Draycote reservoir. One and a bit laps for 10k.

Great company and a great run, finished with a coffee and cake at the café.

You had a cafe, you lucky things!! 😋

A bit like Plas Heli, you go upstairs, but it's bigger and warmer!

[HeavyFoot Half Marathon]

Looks fabulous. There’s something about running next to water.

[Katnap Marathon in reply to HeavyFoot]

In sheltered areas it was actually quite warm, but exposed parts were chilly from the wind!

[lexi6 10 Miles]

Well done you two, looks lovely 👍

Being blokes, we couldn't be bothered to take photos! 😅😂🤣

Great run...and a cafe too...win, win xxx

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

Deffo! 😃

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Amazing pace!!! What better way to celebrate!!! The route looks really nice - would you recommend it?

[Katnap Marathon in reply to linda9389]

It had more inclines than I expected, but it is all tarmac and you get to see lots of little yachts having their own races.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dra... guess the 'hills' are short because they are manmade 🤔

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Great, a boys day out too. That looks like it was a very fast 10k Katnap - methinks you’ve well and truly overtaken UTS now. What better way to end a run than coffee and cake. 😋

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

I know! I often remind myself how much I struggled to reach 8min mile pace and now I'm around 7mins/ mile 😮

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Cafe? Not sure I know what that is Katnap! 😅

[Katnap Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Forewarned is forearmed!

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Well done guys!! I saw your last 3kms on strava 💥 💥 💥💪

[Katnap Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

🤣 trust you to delve deeper into the stats! I was running at just under target marathon pace until a longer downhill section around 7.8k where I was given permission to finish at 5k pace!

Always good to finish strong although the final km was tough!

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Ah that explains it! I do love my stats. 😂

[RunWillie Marathon]

Well done Katnap 👍🏻 I can only dream of 7min/mile pace

[Katnap Marathon in reply to RunWillie]

I know! It's almost cycling speed 😮

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

Looks like you boys had a great day out too. Running by water is often pretty but can lead to blustery winds. Well done guys.

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

We missed Anna from The Running Channel. She was doing the HM

[Windoze Half Marathon]

Great day out mate. My first race of this year and far from anywhere near fit 🤣 thanks for the company...I needed it

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Windoze]

💪 you hung on and digged deep! It was a great morning!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

There are easier ways to grab a coffee and cake you know 🥵😂

Well done both 👍

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

But you feel you earned it! 🐱👍

[Papillon17 Half Marathon]

Well done Katnap great to see.

[Tasha99 Marathon]

That is rapid!

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

If only I could keep that going over the FM distance!
