Yesterday I had a little reality wake up call around how hard this running a marathon will be! I did 12 miles although if I had planned my route a little better it could have been stretched out to the 13 miles I had planned.
I'm thinking for next week I will run a half marathon at a half marathon goal pace! As I was a little disappointed at my pace yesterday and I know I've ran faster
I've got in a lot of running this week, I just hope I'm doing my training right! But its a good to know that I'm capable of running this distance now with 4 months to go. My aim would be by beginning of March to run 4 hours non stop!
I've decided to take it easy today and rest!
Going back to my run yesterday, I've realised I need to take a drink out with me. By mile 11 I was extremely thirsty and could of killed for a drink! And I guess if your running over 10 miles its important to drink water or a sports drink? Does anyone have any thoughts on this!
When I came home I drank a couple of pints of squash and my body just wanted more fluids! Is this normal!?
These thoughts aren't new thoughts but the reason for raising them now is due to the fact training for a marathon is in a different class to training for a half marathon and I do want to protect my self to insure I get to the Marathon and run it the best I can!
So here's my split from my run yesterday.
Mile 1: 9.06
Mile 2: 9.11
Mile 3: 10.18 ( I had a little stop!)
Mile 4: 8.55
Mile 5: 9.14
Mile 6: 9.27
Mile 7: 9.11
Mile 8: 8.35
Mile 9: 9.02
Mile 10: 9.11
Mile 11: 9.05
Mile 12: 9.04
I'm fairly happy with the times! Next week I'll be faster! :)
