How (not) to train for a marathon? by Catherine_L

What a horrible night for a run! But I got out there, I went to running club and I ran 5 miles.  It really was a wild, wet and windy night, but I've learnt that however cold you feel at the start, you will warm up! And that's what happened... but I did keep my buff round my head to keep my ears warm! Did the 5 miles in about 55 mins I think but couldn't time it properly coz the watch battery died. oops. Had a slice of pizza and cup of tea about two hours before I went out, and apart from getting wet feet, felt pretty good. No niggles, no real stitch, felt neither hungry nor full. Rest again tomorrow, then track on Thursday. See you then!
