The actual marathon itself, while obviously being a massive challenge, isn’t too bad. It’s been the training, when you know how bad 16 miles is but know you need to do 17 the next week and so on is a struggle.
I think the biggest factor in today feeling horrendous was probably my flu jab on Wednesday and I’ve had a bit of a sore throat so about 6 K in today I was on the verge of asking to be picked up. Mind over matter but ****ing hell, I’d rather not 😂
