@stix.The boss girl who's on track for 245 marathon says
4 or 5 long runs before with at least one 24 in there.
Agree with that, difficult to separate the mental from my training plan from the bits that make sense!
You want to familiarise yourself with 'hitting the wall' so you want to do it several times, if you can manage a run that takes you longer then your worst case time that would be brilliant, and the further you can manage the better as It will limit the amount of unknown in the marathon!
Thanks looks like I may just have to up by a few miles then for my next three long runs.
When I did the 19 on Sunday it didnt feel all that bad considering it was supposed to be 18 fail on watch reading so I know i can go further but just wondering when that sneaky wall is gonna come up and smack me in the face :-)
I think I might be able to push myself to 22 in training fingers crossed !
