A long run that got tough

My wife and I did our long runs together again today. She did 16km and I carried on to do 25km. The first loop was great as conditions were perfect and everything was great.

I took this panoramic shot with my camera while my wife stopped for a pitstop.

As you can see we were running in a rather scenic area. :)

I dropped my wife off at the 15km mark and carried on to do another loop around the local area. For some reason I found the last 5km or so rather tough and had to walk quite a bit. My legs just felt dead and afterwards my joints were rather sore. I suspect it had to do with my new shoes (separate post to follow) and I also stuck quite a few more hills in my route.

That’s week 08 of my marathon training complete. 10 more weeks to the marathon itself! Next week is a step back week so my long run will only be 18 km.

60.2 km for the week. Which is not too bad. :)
