Started running less than 5 months ago and I ran my 1st ever 10 miles this morning, first 6 1/2 miles I felt pretty good lots of energy, but was running at much slower than my usual pace, the last 3 1/2 miles was much tougher, but I know that my usual pace started creeping in, but over overall 10 miles in 1hr 50, I am very pleased with.
Just wanted to tell people that would appreciate it.

Are you working towards a particular event/distance?
When/if you get round to running this route again see if you can pick a pace that you can maintain throughout. (That is only a suggestion, as it is good to know what your steady pace is over that distance. Of course it wouldn't be too clear if it was a hilly route.) You can also play around with different paces for different stages. You can also focus on 'form' or breathing, or heart rate. Just a few ideas.
Do you run alone or with others? Hope you continue to enjoy your running.
> Great! Worth a celebration. Make sure that you recover well, and look out for any signs of injury.

I’m going to be running the GNR, with a few friends a couple of which have ran it before, but are by no means seasoned runners.
This route had a couple of bad hills in, but also had a couple of nice descents where if I was working on time I could make up some, yesterday was just making sure I could do it, wasn’t really focused on pace, just trying not to run at what my normal pace is, which I normally average around 9 mins per mile.
Thank you for the advice, hopefully after the GNR I start to understand a lot more about the technical side of running, I know that this is only the beginning for me, I really have got the running bug.
I ran my first 10 miler 4 or 5 weeks back - doesn't it feel great! :)
