I hate marathon training

[Findingthelight1]

That's it. I hate it. Five weeks out from the marathon and I'm sick of it
Anyone else?!

Me too
Thought I'd love it but so bored now

You know you don't have to do it?

Ok, so I don't have to do it. But I sort of do. Because if I don't train properly then I won't get the time I need on the day.

I love running long distances, but it's the pressure and rigour of formal marathon training that gets me. Much simpler just to go out and run 26, 28, 30 miles for fun, rather than trying to get it to a spot-on pace , having to worry about fuelling, and all that stuff.

Behave.

You're so close 😁. Music/podcasts? Running with other people? New route perhaps?

It’s too hot still 😬😂🙄

Looking at the forecast it goes up to 24 degrees again and sunny here for a few days next week. Why?! I look like a drowned rat on my long runs and are not really doing long enough ones as just too hot 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I share your pain. Never running again after this*
