So objective 1 complete. Wokers HM 2.13.odd.
I really need to try and get perspective sometimes.
Initially quite pleased to A - Make the start line and B - complete it. But after a while, my overriding feeling is disappointment. From a time perspective, its difficult to find many positives, which alone would be easy to cope with, but, the fact that I found it so damned hard is a little frustrating. A look back at the stats help, no running at all in Dec (lurgy + arse cheek injury) probably wasn't ideal prep, and over 50km of running last week is probably the most on record. The thought of a marathon during the last few km was very, very unappealing.
The main issues were upper body, abs, ribs, shoulders and neck. All very, very painful. Not experienced this before, may have got a bit carried away in the gym last week, but will need to monitor this.
A week off of my nutrition regime, to properly refuel, this week, then back to careful eating again.
My new running partner is now getting a little carried away, and suggesting 15 miles next week ! FML.
Swimming still going well. Actually begining to find it quite comfortable again.
Cycling, although mainly on the Turbo, is going in the right direction. Only 5%off last years FTP now. 2 Hours tonight will be a challenge though.
