Don't quite know where to begin with this one?

When I woke up this morning it was my intention to run a Half Marathon distance. I had bought a couple of SIS Gels and wanted to try them out because I'd never had them before. So, 1 x pineapple gel in my running belt and off I went.

Any route I take from home in most directions is up hill, so I just headed for the hills. When I stopped for a moment to catch my breath, I looked at my phone to see how far I'd run.... mmmmm? 19.3k!

OK! So I've got a couple of options...

1. Turn around and go back the way I came? ๐Ÿคฃ

2. Carry on a bit more up the hill and run a different route back? ๐Ÿ™„

I think you can guess that I took option 2!๐Ÿคฃ

A few more kilometers later I stopped and had the gel ๐Ÿ˜‹ It wasn't unpleasant, it was easy to swallow, but it took me nearly 10 minutes to down it! But it was a lovely 10 minutes to just stop and look around ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒธ

Psychologically, I think the gel worked, as it gave me the confidence to carry on with the next half of the run. Also most of this part of the run was down hill! ๐Ÿ˜

I was shattered at the end. In fact, quite delerious! ๐Ÿฅด But I've eaten and have been sat in the bath for over an hour! ๐Ÿ›€โ˜บ๏ธ

I'M OVER THE MOON ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŒ›๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ This would not have happened if it wasn't for lockdown! ๐ŸŒˆ

Hope everyone is well whether you're up and running or taking it easy on the couch. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธโค๏ธ

PS, I have just noticed on the Vitality World Running Cup Healthunlocked Team GB list that you are NUMBER ONE on it with 463.11K ran, but that marathon you ran is not part of the 463,11km, whenever that event restarts you will still be up there representing us in the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ

By the way I am at No. 72 out of about 124 runners taking part,

Absolutely amazing. Havenโ€™t you transformed adversity into triumph? Congratulations on such a massive achievement. Huge respect - and a shiny new badge too ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ (if you prefer a straightforward marathon badge, just say. I gave you a virtual one in case you want to save the other for an organised event, but itโ€™s easily changed ).

I don't know anything about gels or which ones are good or bad, but I saw this type in Holland & Barret the other day and it said it was an isotonic gel.

I think what happens with me is this... If I say I'm going to do something, then I put pressure on myself to do it and do it well. But if I just do something without thinking, then there is no pressure to do it or do it well! I was excited for my 1st HM in March, as it wasn't a race it was virtual and I wanted to enjoy the experience and remember it by taking photos along the way. The 2nd one was hell. The third one was just getting me head down and running off emotion and was ridiculously fast! I didn't have time to think and nothing to prove. This full marathon was pretty much accidental. I just went out for a run to try a gel ๐Ÿ˜Š I was relaxed and not thinking. I'm sure that's not a good strategy for every time I do a run, but it worked this time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hope all is well with you and your running? xxx

Well yeah. A marathon is a long way. I was 60 when I did my first one and was warned to book a sports massage as I would feel in a few days as if "I'd been hit by a truck" I couldn't afford such a thing so I bought a beginners yoga dvd for ยฃ5 from the supermarket Best fiver I ever spent! My husband bought me the intermediate version after that

I did the yoga, and kept moving. I was fine I was relieved as I expected "afters" being an older runner

I've done two more marathons since and I've been fine. i do go for a gentle short jog around the block the following day. An Epsom Salts bath is lovely too

Hi AliHC, yes all is OK with me. Iโ€™ve been doing a Run Streak - running at least a mile every day - since this all started. Today is day 62!

I did Roseabiโ€™s Speed Challenge and improved my 1K time from 5:53 to 4:50.

The next challenge Iโ€™ve set myself is to run my 1st solo HM as part of my Run Streak. I ran 17.5 K on Saturday so nearly there. Itโ€™s certainly different running longer distances without crowds cheering to encourage you on!

Wow David_G ๐Ÿ˜ฏ that's great! More than a minute off your time! At the end of April I did 2 half marathons within two days of each other, the second one was almost an hour faster! I had a completely different mindset for both of them.
