Awesome run! That's some great distance and your heart rate was doing great, well done. Plus you burned a whole lot of calories out there, good thing you got home just in time for lunch. I've never done a run that long, just marches in the military with a heavy backpack and carrying a rifle. The good old days... lol
Those views are amazing, the Dutch country side is beautiful. Nothing like here in southern California, where it's mountains to the east and ocean to the west. Then pretty much built in city everywhere in between. At one point Orange County had a lot of orange orchards, but those days are long gone sadly.
Thanks man! Mountain & ocean also have their charms! Hope to run Big Sur Marathon one day!
Marches are brutal, here I am in control I determine speed & distance, not knowing how long and how heavy it will be does not allow you to break it down into small milestones that easily as you can do with a marathon. Not being in control can be heavy!
