My long run was on a Thursday last week as I was on a stag weekend in Liverpool and I knew there would be no possible way I would get a run in over the weekend. I started out from work and had the Garmin set for a 26km long run but I knew that would be optimistic. After missing training for a week and a half with pharyngitis and a fever to accompany it I knew I would have to start back easy and was not too happy to be losing a weekend also so the aim was 26km but I would be happy with 16km, or so I told myself.
It was a nice enough evening but my legs didn't last the full journey. I managed 17.5km and then I stopped as I was afraid I would bring on an injury if I kept going as my legs had nothing left. I feel like I've gone a step backwards but I'll just start building up again and hopefully I reach my goal and complete the Dublin City Marathon in a reasonable time.
