Long run
| |||||||||
The race was 2 weeks apart. The body and mind has shown sign of tiredness and low motivation. It might due to the repeating training and schedule following. It's a feeling of "not much you can do now but you still have to do it". A tune-up race will surely spice up the training week. Will try to fit in the tune-up race for the next raining cycle.
Currently also worrying about which shoe to use on the race day.
Have bought another new pairs of shoes - Brooks Launch for the race.
The long run one 27 km was OK. However, I tried to test the water on how will I sustain a race pace from the start of the run. A sudden increase pace at the start gave more tiredness than tempo or marathon pace run, which started with 5-6 km of easy pace and gradually increase the pace. I guess it's important to get the pacing right, not too fast to invite tiredness but not too slow to have catch back at the later part of the race.
I also tried to practice having Power Bar Gel at face pace, which the same experience on last marathon occur - stitches. It's worrying.
Hopefully with proper warm up during race day will reduce the symptom.
It's not a good timing that there are some datelines to meet at the work place. Will try to get it done and have it aside before next week.
