Training was going so well!
I've been following my plan religiously and gaining a lot confidence from the tempo runs and the long runs....
I've got myself up to 18miles which took 2hours and 55mins so with in the correct pace!
On the tempo runs side I was really worried that I would struggle to run the miles around 8.20 - 8.40 mile pace, but I've surprised myself!
Until this week when I've been struck down with a deadly and extremely horrible cold.... Okay so it's just a cold but it meant my tempo run was slow... I've had to rest! Yes rest!!! My plan to run 13 miles replaced with 10 easy miles!
I'm gutted, I just want to run and train! Is that too much to ask....
With Wokingham half looming next Sunday I really hope I can perform well, up till now the plan was to race Wokingham and see if I'm on track for a 4 hour marathon.... Will Wokingham make me or break me!
I'm so quick to loose confidence with my running and training are others the same? By now I should have some confidence in myself?
Plan for the week is to get better and just some light training so I can run well Sunday.....
My first half marathon since the summer! I'm kind of excited and at the same time extremely nervous... It's been a while since I've raced and I love racing but it being a club championship pressure is on! I hope I do myself justice!
