I was feeling good today after last nights run and set out with a good deal of optimism. I started too fast. First mile was completed in under 8 mins and from there in in i tried to maintain a reasonable good pace but by the time i got to 8 i was starting to feel it big style and my pace started to slow considerably. Eventually finishing the 13 miles in 2 hours on the nose which was pretty slow.
It really made me think is it harder this time or am i just pushing the milage sooner. The programme that i usually follow is no longer on line and was more of a slow build up of miles. This programme throws in a big run every week as a challenge. Last week was 12 miles and i could only manage 10. This week was 13 and i succeeded but i felt like death afterwards!! It has taken nearly 2.5 hours for me to feel reasonably normal again!!
Still. Im still on course and am at the half way stage as far as milage goes with still 4.5 full months to go. Barring more injuries (just jinxed it didn't i!?) i think i can do this
Please remember if you are reading this please donate what you can and make all this pain i am going through worth while
