Playing catch-up and feeling pretty crap about my running at the moment. I struggled on my 20 mile marathon training run during the Edinburgh to North Berwick race and was forced to jump on the sweeper bus after being caught at 18 miles. The bus caught me after 3h 11min of running and since the race had a time limit of 3h 30min I was forced to get on the bus because I wouldn't have made the finishing time. I did the extra 2 miles when I got home but I have no idea why I struggled so badly cos I'd done a 19.1 mile run about 2 weeks before in just over 3 hours. Feeling totally deflated and gutted but I'll get over it. Strange thing is I went out and did a tired but steady 5 miles the following day. Don't figure!!

Hey Charles, don't be too disappointed - you know how it goes, some days are harder than others - there doesn't seem to be any logic! I've got my last long run on Wednesday as been away this weekend - hope it goes well too. Then it's the start of the taper! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally. I know it was just an off day but its amazing how that one run can shatter your confidence. I've got a 12 miler on Saturday and then the taper commences so I'm going to try and thrash out a good run.
ReplyDeleteStill need to arrange something to meet up with you and Nicky on the marathon weekend:)
