26.2 km run

[Tessie66]

Lovely long run this morning from the NRC went for 16 miles . Only 2 weeks till the Manchester marathon now so time to taper and take the miles down

Congratulations to you Tessie66 on your run this morning, that looks as you ran a metric marathon, half marathon is 21K, a metric marathon is 26K, 1 think you can get a metric marathon badge next to your username, I wish you all the very best for your Manchester marathon in two weeks time.

Hi GTFC , I hope you are enjoying married life, ❤️❤️, it's not often that I get the EXACT time at the same parkrun, but it happened at Springburn parkrun on Saturday, my time was 31:48 which was the very same time when I ran there on October 26th last year ✅🏃

Hi Tessie66; you have earned your Metric Marathon Badge, but I don’t expect you to need it for very long! Congratulations 🙂 Long slow runs are great at this stage 👍

That's awesome Tessie!!! What a confidence lift that must be. Rest well now, and you will bag this marathon in style 💪

Hope the foot behaves for the next couple of weeks

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Well done! That is a long old way and will be miles in the bank for your marathon. How’s everything feeling today?

[Tessie66 Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you I'm not feeling too bad my foot is a bit saw but apart from that all good and from now just a few 5 and 10k runs

I did the same run myself at the weekend:

Coach Bennett:

"What's the first part of your form to break down?"

Me:

"I stop lifting my feet enough"

**fast forward twenty minutes and I'm entertaining dog walkers by going head over heels on a - fortunately - smooth and dusty path. Injured pride and a dirty right arm, everything else remained intact.

[Tessie66 Metric Marathon in reply to CosmicBuffalo]

I'm exactly the same with not lifting my feet enough as I go through the miles. Hope your arm is ok

[GTFC Marathon]

Excellent run! Really well done. Hope taper goes well 😀

[Tessie66 Metric Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Thank you nice and steady taper now 🙏
