My usual "allotted run time" is before little one wakes up, so I'm normally out to be back home for 7:30AM, but I've always been a morning person. The mornings are getting lighter now which makes life easier and the branch scratches are decreasing!
Had a free pass this morning though so I did my first 10mile / 16Km. I didn't have a distance in mind, just to go for a longer comfortable run so trying to keep to a 5min split pace and did 1hr 21 with a stop for the sunrise photo. At 10k I considered heading back the way I came to do a 20k but opted to explore some new routes looping back to home to keep it "fun"
So I'm thinking I have it in me to do a half marathon. Would it be reasonable to take my woodland/groad/trail running straight to a road? Or should I start doing some specific road running? In my head road running is going to be horrible on my knees so will need to build up some... thing? But I hate running next to traffic so that might be a motivation killer and a nail in the coffin for the idea.
