Horrible 17 miles today. Had hoped I'd get to 20 - both to set a new distance record, and to complete the Strava challenge - but no dice. I was within half a mile of home and really bonking. I think I need to run slower (yes, even slower than usual) and take some water/gels on, if I'm going to make it through this marathon.
The big day is the 17th, and I have until next next Monday off (once I finish this late shift I'm on) - what should I be doing? I was thinking of another long run on Tuesday (maybe go for 20 miles?), then a short jog Thursday and Friday, and another long run Saturday - then stopping to taper. What do you think?
