AtomThe last 2 weeks have been about the same as it’s been for the last few months. I did set one important goal for last Sunday’s run though. Regardless of how bad I feel I’m running, I wanted to do a long run where I was on my feet for 4 hours. I decided not to bother about worrying about pace or how much I had to walk, but rather, just to keep moving forward for 4 hours.
That long run started off about the same as my previous runs, but I’m happy to report that I managed to keep moving for 4 hours and I managed to cover 19 miles. I had figured that I would have probably done at least 18 and I was hoping I could have made 20, but I was happy with the 19 miles. I did notice some cramping in the last mile if I tried to run so the whole of the last mile was spent walking.
I plan to do one more long run like that before my marathon, but I hope to make it a 20-miler.
