Aug / Sep – The Road To ?

[marathondan]

Out the door at 10 pm for another plod round the 4.5 mile circuit. I started feeling unusually weak about half-way round, and considered taking a short-cut home. I figured it was due to not having eaten for 4 hours – usually I like a few calories 1-2 hours before exercise. But I decided that over such a short distance there wasn’t any chance of it turning into a real problem, so plodded on and eventually got a second wind. Most gratifying. But I came in yet another 30 s slower than last week – if the trend continues next week, I’ll be up to 10-minute miling, which I think would be the slowest I’ve ever run.

But pace doesn’t matter at this stage.
