Marathon Training - Week 4, 3 mile run
Today was a pretty good run. I decided that I was going to go out and try and do some "speed" training and just see how quick I could run the 3 miles. I felt really really good for the first mile and clocked a very fast first mile. I kept up the pace for another half mile or so but by mile 2 I was slowing down and battling side cramps because my breathing got off pace.
I finished the whole run in under 28 minutes which is pretty quick for me compared to my normal runs and I'd be giddy to finish a 5k in under 28 minutes.
It's amazing the ups and downs you go through over just one run. It's funny that you can start and feel great, then feel terrible, then want to quit, then in a matter of moments feel great again. It's really sometimes a roller coaster but I guess that's why you develop such mental stamina from being a long distance runner.
