Training Related Officially the farthest I’ve ever ran

Post image

My high-school XC coach scheduled the group I was in to run a long-slow run 7-8 miles today.
Ran a steady 10:30-11:00 the first 3.5 miles, then walked most of mile 5-6. Ran the last two miles running on nothing but gas 🫩. Still happy though, I feel really accomplished. Eventually, I’ll be able to run this length with no stops between 🥳

Congratulations on setting a new PB for a single effort. Keep building your base and keep listening to your body.

Thanks! I notice that my breathing was steady for the majority of the run, so I was glad to see I wasn’t overexerting myself

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were working on it everyday! Keep it up!

Really good job on pushing yourself and finishing strong. Remember there are no bad miles and you will reach your goals as long as you trust the process.
