Marathon Ambition Remains.

[Tbae]

Taking part in Floss’s Blooming June Quest over on The Bridge.

Got my 10k and 20k ✅ off for Weeks 1&2.

Got my routes sorted,start times sorted,drinks and snacks sorted.

Thinking when I embark on my week3/30k/6hour trot that if I have to I am going to chunk it to get it done.Either way it is going to tell me a lot.Never been at that distance and time before.

If not now, when.🤔

Well done Tbae on your quest to eventually run a marathon, good that you have got 10 and 20K ran and ticked off weeks 1 and 2.

Of course, being well hydrated is very important hence having the drinks and snacks all sorted out.

Good luck for your week 3/30K 6-hour trot, that is a long time to be out running, I wish you all the very best.

Going to reread all your Marathon Guidance posts for all the gen.( fuel).

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

Hmmm, I never give guidance on that, other than to say 'experiment' 😊 But I think small amounts of sugary things that you find palatable are the way to go!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to roseabi]

... and a good breakfast of course!

"if not now, when?"

Exactly the motivation I need Tbae

I did a 10k Friday night, was pleased with my time, especially as the last three miles were uphill, but just couldn't get in the "mental groove".

I felt every footfall, every breath in and out, time seemed to crawl by etc. It was actually depressing and THAT has never happened before. Didn't get out today, too much to do and simply no time - up before 5am and just now back from the salt mines at 21:19.

But - it's very true that if I put off my FM quest, no guarantee the time will ever be "right".

Onwards and upwards. Will aim at a 15k tomorrow. BTW, did I mention temps in the high 80s here lol. 🥵

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Atb John, you will do it.You are one tough and motivational gentleman.

🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏💪🙏💥

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Thank you T Much appreciated

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Just ✅off 31k.Longest for me ever.Wheels came off but got round.Need to work on making it more enjoyable.

🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏💪🙏

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Tbae]

HM is the longest I've ever done so well done you

I've found a route that is exactly six miles out and back, which is giving me a boost of confidence. I trained for "new" distances before by doing laps of the Park, but running around it 38 times would not only be insanely boring, no way would I be able to keep proper count lol. My "usual" routes much the same problem if not quote as repetitive.

So, onwards and upwards my friend
