3 times, according to the marathon plan.
Wednesday - run 75 minutes - crap that was hard. I could have turned back after 10 minutes. My brain and body sort of disassociated, my eyeballs rolled around in my skull and I felt a bit pukey. 63 minutes later I just couldn't continue and was home.
Thursday - run 40 minutes - check. I could have just kept going and going. But didn't.
A sports massage this afternoon was fab. I've got a band for working my glutes and some breathing exercises. Oooh!
Rest day tomorrow.

A foam roller and a tennis ball are great for self massage too. Aaaaaahhhhh....
good work :)
At least you want to go out running. Thats the hard part! Take a few days rest and then you'll spring back stronger than ever.
I've fallen off track with running too. I always do; but it's normally not after just one week.
I'm just not in the mood for anything that doesn't involve sitting on the sofa and eating Pringles crisps.
T.I.T.N -I've heard other people say foam rollers are good, probably about time I got one.
kate - cheers mate.
red - I don't feel like I've fallen off track with the running. It was just one bad run, which I find periodically happens and I can't always put my finger on the reason why. I just try not to let one bad run get me down. I'm finding having a training plan for the running and trying to stick to it is really helping with motivation including encouraging me out on the bike and doing my core work.
good work indeed, the pukey comment made me lol, I know the feeling only too well!!
Emma - thanks. Long run tomorrow 3hrs. Just saw your new blog, re struggling to eat I sympathise, my stomach can be a right nuisance when I run. I've found mulebars are my current preferred food for long runs.
