4 weeks to go until the rutland mara and finishing in a half decent time seems fairly unlikely, with the injuries i have had over the past month getting in long runs has been near impossible. But ... i paid for it so im gonna do it.
Today saw a sorry attempt at a half mara, even though it was probably a PB it wasnt alot faster than what i can do in a half iron distance race. The way i look at it is that i needed something to jolt me in to running over 6 miles again. This certainly gave me the jolt, after laying down for a while at home I tried to stand and failed miserably. My knee locked out and took a few minutes of gentle easing to actually get it to even move. i think im going to leave the distance training as i know i am aerobically sound for the 26 mile run and theres no need to temp fate and make my knee worse. Im sure people have done a mara on 7 mile runs before - if not theres always a first - after all its the way of the pirates :) JFDI
