15 miles & the race that wasn't
I thought I might wake up on Sunday a ball of hurt after my 10k but instead I woke up and felt fine so decided to go on a long run. I ran 15 miles. That is the longest run I have done in a very long time. I went slow, fueled properly and ran into no problems. I had enough energy left to run the last mile in 10:08. This morning I woke up a semi-ball of hurt but not too bad. Hmmmm perhaps I am getting better at this long run thing. The only issue is water. I need a better hydration system. My handheld is just too small. I ran by my car around mile 12 to refill but running by the car and stopping at the car are kind of torture when you have multiple miles left to cover. Mental weakness I guess. Last weeks workouts: Wed: 8 miles Thurs: 4 miles Sat: 10k Sunday: 15 miles This weeks workouts: Tues: 4mi Wed: 8mi Thurs: x-train Fri: 7mi Sat: 4 mi Sun: 16mi I was able to do this long run in part to not racing again until October. Why not till October? Because I won't be showin...
