I received my 8 week warning from the Kilomathon race in England in March. I needed to get a move on given my poor training record to date. I prepared myself for a long run just to see how it felt. I headed out and took the long route with 18K on the cards. 26 minutes for 5K. Then 1hr 5 minutes for 10K which is about 20 minutes longer than my 45 minute personal best.
Clearly my fitness has dropped off significantly. I finished in 1hr 49 which is pretty slow for 18K. I managed it without stopping and I was struggling from about 12K and at 15K I was running on empty. Clearly my ability to store energy is also needing some training. Happy to have done it and no real pain or injury worries after the run.
