@runna is my training assistant for the upcoming @mountaineer10miler and it's been going really well. Since starting with the app in January I've clocked 111 miles. That's not a typo.
Yesterday it had me down for an 'easy 6.5 mile run' (which would be my single longest run to date). Ordinarily, this doesn't sound easy. AND I'm in the mountains, which is supposed to add to the rigor. But I was really looking forward to my first 'bigger' run in the mountains (since this is where the race will take place), and decided on a run around Bass Lake/Moses Cone area in Blowing Rock.
Elevation 3400-3700 feet and perfect running weather. I was a little shocked by the result. I feel like I only got an on or off button, 'easy' just doesn't live here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Somebody help me pick out a new watch and give recco's for new running shoes, my Hoka One One's are spent
I'm already signed up for the @aroundthecrown10k later this year. Should I sign up for the @charlottemarathon for a half marathon?

I always like Asics for running shoes but they certainly aren’t giving them away 😂

I vote YES for the 1/2 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 and I have the Coros Pace 3 for my watch and have zero complaints

I ❤️ my garmin, but I've also heard great things about coros. For shoes, if you haven't yet, I highly recommend going to a local running store and get fitted. The wrong shoe can cause injuries - especially now that you're running longer distances (woot!!!). And yes, duh, do the half marathon! 🎉🎉🎉
