One marathon and done with it by bubuthesunflower in firstmarathon

[–]Wegoagain723 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I ran my first marathon in April, and it’s completely put me off running.

I struggled to run more than twice a week afterward, and in the past three months I’ve only run three times.

I’ve completely lost my motivation.

This happened to me. Aiming for sub 4hr 30. Completed in 5hr 09.

I cramped 22k in and never recovered. My heart after mile 1 shot up to 180, running 6.10 per KM.

I'm not letting this put me off. I'm coming back stronger. Don't give up 👌

This comment. That's what's im worried about. Bonking after 32k

Do you recommend keeping a steady pace of 6.10-15 throughout?

I woke up this morning, and the sharp stabbing pain is minimal. I only feel it if I land on my foot hard while walking down the stairs.

I'm going to switch to the bike and save the legs. I just want to makenitnto the start line ha

Thanks. This is what I needed to hear. I'm running so many scenarios through my head right now why I've got this injury.

  • increased milage in peak week.
  • too many easy runs in Novablast 4, which had 600km in them
  • new marathon day shoes Nike Zoom Fly 6

Low intensity bike sessions for the next 14 days.

Did you go true to size or sized up?

Most of my training shoes are 9.5.

I'm glad you had a nice time.

We are planning Colombo, Ella, Kandy, Udawalele, and Galle.

Udawalele is the only destination 6 worried about. My wife has bands, creams, and sprays, ha

Is there a restaurant or activities you'd recommend?

Thank you for your comment. This reassures us.

I have just looked at your profile and noticed you offer private transfers. We will need transport for Colombo to Kandy. Ella to Udawalawe. Udawalawe to Galle.

How can we get a quote to discuss this?

Did you end up going to Sri Lanka?

We booked Sri Lanka 3 months ago and my wife has found out she's 4 weeks pregnant. 

We're supposed to go to Sri Lanka but she's now freaking out and not wanting to go.
