Today I had one of the worst runs I've ever had. Set off for a 15.5 mile run well hydrated nourished. It was a hot day with the sun beating down, it took me about 3.5 miles to get into my stride which never bodes well. After getting into the swing of things everything seemed to be going well, after about 12 miles legs started getting a bit sore and with 3/4 of a mile to go it happened. It has never ever happened to my before but I hit the Wall I physically could not lift my legs to run and in the face of personal shame and feelings of inadequacy I had to walk for about 200 yards when I started running again it was like an old man. I finally finished in a time of 2:06:15 people can do an extra 11 miles in the same time. I knew things weren't going well when I had to turn my I-pod down as it was too loud. I've never had to do that, I'm only 28 music can't be too loud yet!!
I'm not sat on the settee at home with aching legs and a feeling of failure!
