Let me start by saying i hadnt run til the beginning of the year. Im now 60 run parkrun regularly go out running when I can and have now done 4 10k races. I run at my comfortable pace ( dont want to drop dead). I usually do my parkruns in 32 mins. Did todays 10k in 70 mins due to mixed terrain course. My questions is can I do a 10 mile race how will it feel? Ideally i would like to do one in two weeks time as its in memory of someone. What does everyone think? I could run more up to event and I could swim more and get into gym or would I really feel it would be too much too soon. Your comments would be appreciated thanks Brenda

Go for it Brenda- the adrenalin will drive u those extra miles.    I am 56 and had completed a few 10ks & embarked on my 1st 9.5 mile trail run at the weekend.   It was fab and challenging but my legs still felt good at the end.   ur times look good,   I am slower than u but I love getting the biggest cheers at the end of the races.   go at your own pace & enjoy & think of who you are doing it for.     Good Luck.

Thanks jean most reasurring and well done you. How long did it take you and how did you feel afterwards? Did it feel daunting before it or were you well prepared.? Thank you brenda
