A really long run

Paris Marathon Training: Week 5 of 18
Today’s target run: 2 hours, 23 minutes
Today’s completed run: no 2 hours, 23 minutes

Best of intentions, but the long training run just wore me out. More tomorrow.

Ah...the beauty of a marathon schedule. I was already operating from a base of 1 to 1.5 hour long runs, so it is easier to build up from there. This week, I actually drop my long run back down by 20 minutes or so, before I increase the long runs again for the next 3 weeks, followed by another small decrease, etc. Using Hal Higdon or Bob Glover's training schedule...can't remember which one. The problem last Sunday came that I did all these chores AFTER the long run that kept me on my legs all day Sunday.....
