My BigHalf Marathon is only 4 weeks away. I am a little concerned that I want to do it justice as have run a practice one on Christmas Eve but have done two Parkruns in the morning but performance is not same as my usual evening runs. Although the latest one my second was an improvement with a PB as made a lot of changes to the 1st, not so many clothes, it wasn’t so cold although very breezy, did not eat breakfast before just a banana, no drinks, and used the loo before going to the run. So a little concerned as don’t seem to run so well in the morning. Then later on this arrived bringing home how close it is getting.

I like to think I can but it’s this morning thing seems to be heavy on the mind.

You will be fine on the day. Just make sure you run in all weathers. You don't want to be battling unfamiliar conditions as well as yourself!

Thanks, I Have run in all conditions including in the snow whilst trying to get through C25K. Just don’t do it regularly as listen to my body and mind as need them both in unison to undertake a run.

Not what you're looking for?
