I remember him doing it when I was a kid, I reckon as he was a committed Christian who never drank or went out anywhere unless it was with church, family or my mom, it was his equivalent of going down the pub for a few hours.(03-23-2019, 11:06 PM)Sotv Wrote: My dad used to run marathons back in the 80’s and said 18 miles was where many hit the dreaded “wall”. He used to train up to 22 miles before races as he reckoned once you got past that you passed the pain point and always found the last few miles easier.
Did he run for a club?
Only managed 5 miles today but it was over lots of trails and woods in Sutton park so a different challenge. Really enjoyed leaping over mud, getting a bit lost in woods etc and the scenery was great. I was a bit disappointed for the distance but soon got my answer why I didn’t feel so up for it.
I’d felt maybe my stomach was a bit full before I started and put it down to a large breakfast about an hour and half before, after a mile or 2 that eased off. Got home, had a bath and was feeling fine, then suddenly about 4 pm I started vomiting and it was really intense for about 90 mins. Got that horrible fever after,lay on the sofa and now I’m feeling a bit better but I darent fart!
