I can't even remember how long this heatwave has been going on, but it's a long time.
It first reared its' ugly head when I was due to run a big distance training run which I had decided I wanted to do at least 30k on and crack the 30k barrier. Previous to this I had managed 24k (twice) so felt I was ready. I was - but I was also a bit unprepared and didn't eat anything like enough the night before. I set off what I though was early enough but after 2 hours the sun came out and just roasted me - luckily I was close to the sports centre at Warwick University so was able to grab so fresh water, but it wasn't enough and the sun soon won the battle against my will to continue.
So yes I experienced the wall at the end of June - it wasn't nice but I guess at least I know about it now.
Tomorrow I am hoping to succeed and have planned out a 33k run, will be piling in the carbs for tea tonight and will be leaving at 5.30am to start the 3 hour run - this will be my longest run to date and I'm told not to push closer to the marathon distance if 42k before the race in October cos it can be detrimental - Im not sure yet - I might give it a go in a month!
Pic below is from when I did the 2 Castles run in June. Tomorrow is gonna be like running that 3 times!
Tiny reminder about the marathon relevance to Pop Star Party news:
In October this year I will be running the Dublin marathon so am currently training 4 days a week to build strength & passion for running - I will be running for a charity also and that charity is ChildLine Ireland.
