went out on Saturday morning to do 18 miles, hit the wall at 13 and it never got any better, had to stop at 17. Never had anything like that before, not even on a marathon.
Not sure if i didn't get enough food on board on Friday or not getting enough sleep [6 month old teething]. Felt really bad until I had something to eat and then settled down a bit.
it really surprised me, it's not like I haven't been training up to this before although I haven't run anything over 15 for about 4 months.
