Notes
Tough tough run. Even though I was plodding along at a snails pace I was still under pressure for a lot of the run. Towards the end it got so bad that I had to stop 3 - 4 times. I was so wrecked I stopped twice on downhill stretches. I'm writing this nearly 4 weeks kater as it's been that long without a run since. 2 days after this run I got an attack of gout that hit my right foot at the base of my big toe. Incredibly sore and impossible to walk for weekd let alone run. On Difene at the moment and hope to have it cleared up soon but it will probably come back so need to sort it long term. Disappointing end to my marathon plan but at the same time got pretty fit so good base to start training again. Joined the gym at the end of Sept so will focus on gym work, swimming and circuits as I build up to running again...
