Marathonlog 2
Was this a good Idea..?
Day 2, and for those keep track, it's the 2nd September. Running, tired today. Well I guess not going to bed until two in the morning is not being a true dedicated athlete. But in my defence, I am putting it down to research. No not checking out the talent at the local night club, but watching the world championship women's Marathon from Osaka - Japan. There is something strangely exhausting about watching a full marathon being played out from the comfort of your armchair, with a cup of tea and a biscuit to sustain you, and to carry you on through the wall. Well that's my excuse for my below par Sunday morning session.
So it is early days, and the session was more fartlek than a consistent well paced run. But one saving grace is that, I am putting in an average of 7.30 pacing between pauses to get my breath back. Another factor was the air quality today, as the chest felt very congested, causing me to cough and splutter like an old boiler, which is about par for me. Coughing and spluttering, not resembling a old boiler that is.
Knowing that the pace there, give confidence, and I am drawing a picture of areas I need to build on, the first being, to focus on my stamina to keep it going. I need to develop a more even paced run on my Sunday long runs. But this will come turn, and having read my stars today, Mystic Meg claims Saturn has arrived back in my chart for the first time in 28 years...so welcome back Saturn. This will either mean that I will win loads of money, or I may be come a love god....I could even end up winning next years marathon. Maybe I am taking my stars too seriously...?
