After the Brighton Marathon 2010

Sunday 24 February 2008

There's something about race day

I was stunned and thrilled, as you know, with how well last weekend's race went. Back to normal for today's long run, unfortunately. The last 4 miles were agony. And I have my doubts again about the reliability of the pedometer I'm using. At half way, it was showing about 1 hour 11. I wasn't expecting anything great, as I felt quite flatfooted and was making a lot of noise with each footfall, in contrast to last week. But this would mean I ran a negative split and, trust me, that is simply not the case.

I don't know what it is about running with an audience that lifts my performance. Perhaps my ingrained fear of embarrassment.

Sunday 24 February. Run 15 miles. Time taken 2 hours 19 minutes 34 seconds.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
