Stop running. get injuries fixed. a lot easier said than done.
Long runs are wiping me out. Did 20 on Saturday along the Thames, took two SIS Orange gels, one at 1 hour and one at 90 minutes. not sure if I could feel any benefit. still couldn't hold marathon pace for more than 2 miles at a time. might try eating breakfast before my next attempt.
Most notable part of it was slipping and falling on a metal manhole cover as i turned a corner right at the end. took quite a tumble leading to a bashed up knee and wounded pride.
Keeping the hard efforts early this week in readiness for The National on Saturday. bring on the rain.
