Morning Run - Going longer

avatar

I just finished a 16.003km running that lasted about 1hh:35mm:1ss !

I am conscious that I have a half marathon event in two weeks and so I needed to test myself on a longer run as I have cut down a bit lately. Mind you, the relaxation of COVID restrictions may get pushed back a few weeks, so I will have to see if that affects the race.

It is going to be warm today, so I tried to get out fairly early, but it still warmed up. I did the usual route up to Fairfield and had a couple of options from there, but decided to head up to Standalone Farm, where the race starts. Wilbury Road from there is quite up and down and I flagged a bit there. I went through Norton to pick up the Greenway through Radwell Meadows. On the race I shall be doing that in the opposite direction. I came back through Stotfold.

As I got near home I stopped the watch right on 16km. It was a hard run, if not particularly quick. I feel fairly confident I can do the extra bit for the half.

I had breakfast before the run to get some energy. I needed a while to cool down afterwards. I have a gig with my band at lunchtime, so I need to get ready for that. It will be hot out, so I shall need to cream up. There is an England match on later, so lots of people will be out at pubs to watch that. I hope some of them will enjoy our music.

Run free and stay well.

16km is a good long run. A half marathon is 21 km, I think (not exactly sure), so you're just about there! Awesome stuff.

Hope the gig goes well!

It's a good training run for that distance. Have to get my body used to it.

The gig was fun. Always good to play with those guys.

Looks like a pretty good pace to me, hope you get to do your race!

Sounds like things are getting back to normal. Football in the pub!

It felt almost like normal life. All outside of course, but you'd want to be on a scorching day like today.
