So yesterday I managed over 15 miles on what can only be described as a bit of a disastrous training run. I was trying to follow directions on my phone as I was running through Peterborough (my husband was doing a Cycling sportive there). I never got in to the flow of it. The wind was horrendous. Mapmyrun sent me on an interesting route. If you are looking for a new build in Peterborough give me a shout I know the new estates really well now and they have a lot of cul de sacs and dead ends.
I then wound up at a road I couldn’t cross which lead to the meltdown I described on Instagram yesterday.
All in all it’s not a training run I want to repeat. I have taken some things away from it though, my husband is very calm when I’m having a meltdown and gets me back to thinking like a rational person. I need to take some spare cash running for emergencies. It doesn’t matter how bad your training run went if you run over a half marathon distance your legs will let you know about it the next day.
Next week my husband is doing another bike sportive in York and I’m going along to run again. Thankfully I know York a lot better than Peterborough (where I had never been). So I’m planning on running by the river, so I won’t be able to help you if you want to buy a new build in York….
