Today I ran 18 miles. This was by far the hardest run I have ever completed. When I look over the training schedule I will run 20 miles next weekend and 22 miles after that. We will start tapering in May.
I can tell I am best conditioned right now to run a half marathon. I start having to walk more and more after 13 miles. I still finished the route but I have never been so physically tired in my life.
There is no doubt that this will be the hardest thing I will have ever attempted in my life.
Looking back on this so far I do know there are some things I need to do differently if I ever decide to run another marathon. I need to log more miles during the week to get my weekly mileage to no less than 50. That could mean running somewhere between 6 and 10 miles at least twice a week in addition to the long runs I do on the weekend.
