Is 16Km better than 10 miles as a long run? Depends on your age. (I'm old 😉)

If you are running a 10mile every weekend then it is so easy to:
Be confident when you go to a 10 mile race and perform well.
Add a few miles and you get a good Half Marathon.
Build up a decent block of stamina if your goal is a Marathon later this Year.

Don’t overthink it, just go out and do it.

If you haven't quite got up to 10 yet then no worries but keep adding until you get there. It is still only January.
