Headed out for my Sunday long run with the intention of doing around 10k. I didn’t want to push too hard as I am not really training for my half until July but as I was coming near my second turn around point I felt amazing and just kept going. When I did finally turn and headed home I ended up doing 15k. HOLY SH*t that’s the longest I’ve ever run. I felt great, a bit of knee pain but other than that , awesome. It was my first run where I incorporated extra nutrition along the way. I bought some GU Chomps in orange flavour and had 4 before my run , and 4 more a hour into it along with my water as well. Not sure they made a difference but they tasted ok.
It’s now a month till my first race, the Run for the Diamond in Uxbridge. I am only doing 5k but it will be good to be in race mode that day. Looking forward to it.
