Saturday 13th September
3 miles run (crawl) 3 miles walk
I had been worrying about trying to do 18 and I don’t know if it was psychological or not but I felt rotten and just got slower and slower till I gave up. I felt terrrible giving up on 18 miles when the rest of the weekend I am going to go and watch WHW runner and others run for 24 hours but it was not enough to keep me going. It has been my highest mileage in a week (still not much though comparatively) for ages and ages and my legs were feeling it. I am happy doing my long runs with others or on the WHW but by myself on the road is hard just now. Especially as my run up has been so poor so I don’t have the same confidence I can do it.
Build up of long runs since returning from Malawi: (rather a contradiction)
3rd August - 13 miles
12th August – 9 miles (all went wrong)
16th August – 15 miles (WHW)
(No long runs for 2 weeks as in Cardiff for Madonna gig and then not well the next week)
7th Sept – 13.1 miles (Glasgow 1/2)
Total mileage for this week: 34 miles
