To all the fitness freaks on Spotlight ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm running in my first ever half marathon on Sunday
Very nervous!
Due to last weekend's debauchary, I lost about a week of training. I planned on doing a couple of 10mile runs beforehand so I was used to running for about 2hrs. As it stands, the most I've run so far was last night, about 10k... took me about an hour and a quarter. I found it ok, could have carried on but it was getting dark.
I want to try and do a 2hr run on Wednesday evening.... but is this too close to the race? It's at 10am on Sunday... will my muscles have recovered enough by then? Or should I do a few 5 miles this week just to keep my fitness up?
Also any other advice from anyone who's ever done any long distance running is greatly appreciated!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
