In a desperate attempt to get my marathon training back on track I did a 10 km run on Thursday, followed by a long 23 km run this morning.
Everything was just horrible. Far from my best. I could only manage 61 mins in the 10 km and a massive 151 mins in the long run.
The 10 km run was run in very hot conditions, I started too fast and suffered some pain in my right shin.
The long run was the first long run that I have done since the marathon ended, nearly 4 months ago. Hopefully I can quickly improve on that performance. I plodded like a tired old man during those 151 minutes. The good thing is that I got 151 minutes under my belt, when I could have stopped at 60 mins.
Those two runs have made me realise an awful truth, that I'm nowhere as fit as I was last year!

Dude, what's your forecast/big plans for 2007?
Hows the gym going... still going?
Still gymming 1-2 times a week depending on marathon training intensity. Was gymming 3 times a week before.
Hmm big plans for 2007? Run marathons, get fitter, get another cert... didn't I blog about my big plans for 2007 earlier?
I think you did but I couldn't find that post... hah. Okay more sports this year, hardcore.
