Well it seemed to work

Thanks everyone. Much better yesterday. A good 8km up and down the now famous canal and at 5:07min / km felt just about fine. It was supposed to be a LSR but as a kind of punishment to myself I ran it at pace.

I realised yesterday that the trick of training for the marathon isn't the number of training runs you do that you find OK/easy, it's those that you do that you frankly don't want to, but know you must do, that make it so hard.

You are so right. The thing is, why do we enter marathons at all...? It all depends how much you want the medal as opposed to the pain of failure doesn't it..? For me, it means getting your backside out of the door and getting on with it. I can honestly say I've ditched runs before I've started but once on a run and having set myself a goal, I've never not finished it.
