    really considering another run today, but thinking I shouldn't, since my morning run was the furthest single run I've done

    13 km ( Bad Number ) doing 85 minutes of Running. Standard Saturday group = Long Run & Hill Day. Two hills. The main group knocked off a 3rd hill and 2 tempo runs between the hills giving them 20km. I know my limits and the 2 hills were a struggle today ( especially since we did it in Fresh Snow - Winter's not done with us yet! )

    @AdrianChr92 I couldn't really afford a Garmin, so recently bought myself a Tomtom GPS Runner 0, which I got on sale as they have just brought out a new range. I have to say, it's brilliant and I don't regret not paying extra for a Garmin - it was half the price of a forerunner 230!

    I like that you have a lot of control over the data you can see whilst running, it has a quick GPS feature (mine found a satellite in less than 10 seconds when I ran on Thursday, I hadn't even got to my front gate!) and it has a few other features like interval training and the ability to set a target pace or heart rate with the watch vibrating when you go over or under. I really can't recommend it enough!

    Easy 10K earlier this morning. No long run this week since I have a race tomorrow afternoon. It's an 8K. That means no rest day this week and I will be streaking for 13 days between this week and next week.

    03/02 - 3.1 miles
    03/03 - 3.1 miles
    03/05 - 6.2 miles

    I RAN MY FIRST EVER 10K TODAY!!!

    I was planning on 4.5 miles, but about halfway through I felt really great so figured I might as well get to 5... then I was still feeling great so went for 10k! The farthest I've ever run before is 4 miles so this feels like a massive achievement!!

    That being said, I know I went farther than I probably should have today, so I'll plan on keeping the same mileage for next week. And I'm gonna take an extra-long stretch now!

    MTD: 12.4 / 40

    Thanks everyone for their opinions. Can't wait to get myself a watch. Tired of looking at my phone during runs.


    Also here's something totally true

    Hi, I'm new to this, but am in training to run a marathon. My goal is 90 for March. It's still early in my training.

    Great job. I recently achieved that goal myself. Felt so good to do something I thought was out of my depth. Keep it up!
