solitude_fairy Sep 2007 7:13pm, 16 Sep 2007 96 posts	Quote Pin solitude_fairy I had an awful run this morning. 11 mile LSR following programme for half marathon. Never felt so ill after a run ever. I have done this before so know I can do it, but felt faint, sick, raised heart rate the works. Took the rest of the morning to start to feel a little better. My whole body stills aches, but much better than it was. I am just hoping it is not the start of a bug or something. Enjoyed it up to 9 miles though!!
Iris Sep 2007 7:27pm, 16 Sep 2007 68 posts	Quote Pin Iris Pretty good. First time I've run 10k so good to know I can do it as my first 10k race is in 2 weeks. Low point though is my lovely trainers (Asics so I know I'm not alone) gave me my first blisters. I've done a few 9ks in them with no problem but by about 8k today they were rubbing.

Rick OShay Sep 2007 9:02pm, 16 Sep 2007 50 posts	Quote Pin Rick OShay D. No one likes P-S C. Struggled to be honest on a LSR (14miler, just over two hours). I chose a poor route, basically down, then up my local A road, which is on an escarpment. I really struugled with the 7 mile climb (downhill was a doddle though). Need a few more (longer) LSR's before NYC, but I should be ok.
Velociraptor Sep 2007 9:14pm, 16 Sep 2007 1,506 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Race was OK. It's quite nice, in a perverse sort of way, to feel disappointed with 19th place But 5k is a very unsatisfying sort of distance and my legs had just had their appetite whetted for a proper run. So I went out and let them have 8 miles of doing whatever they wanted this evening. It was too fast to be a maintenance run, too slow to be speedwork or even a tempo run, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
