Blisters top running, great effort. . The forum shows theres been some good training this weekend. I managed my first ever 18 mile run on Sunday, tried to make it slow as recommended, but ran it in 2hr 17 mins (maybe a bit too fast for 1st time on longest ever run). At the end felt tired and realising just how far 26 miles really is. . Today I went for what was supposed to be a short slow run with a friend who is also running FLM. Unfortunately friend is very fast experienced runner (around 3hr for Marathon) and I wanted to try and keep up. We did 9.3 mile Cross Country in 1hr 8min felt like nearly Tempo pace due to wet boggy ground. I am going to take it slower for rest of week, but feel good (no aches or pains).
