Distance : 14.5 miles
Total Training Distance (since beginning Sept 09) : 340.5 miles
Route & Stats : Drayton and Back, via Marriotts Way
This was more like it, 14.5 miles and it hurt a bit, but nothing like the run I did last Friday. I was supposed to be running in the Reedham 10m race today but the weather put paid to that, so I decided to get another long run in, only this time I was going to prepare properly.
The preparation certainly helped and I remembered to take my 'Go Gel' with me this time. I still found it tough going towards the end, but then I suppose that is what training runs are all about. The route was good and I particularly liked running up the Marriotts Way and it was nice to run off road for a change. With snow on the ground some of the scenery was beautiful.
Looking ahead to next weekend, I will be aiming for 16 miles, and will probably stay local and do a few laps around Whittlingham Hall and The Big Broad. The good thing about that is that I'm never more than a few minutes away from a toilet which is becoming an issue on these long runs. This weeks thanks go to Chapplefield shopping centre for my emergency stop, fortunately there weren't too many shoppers around.
