Back to a long run in the run up to the Athens Marathon today and, given I’ve got to do a load of studying for my course, I can’t really stay around too long to talk about it.
To avoid last week’s long-run malaise where I ran out of gas, I made sure I had a couple of bananas and spent an hour sipping on a Maxifuel sports drink before going out. I also loaded up a 2litre skin with a mix of water and Lucazade sport and loaded it into a back pack.
I headed off from the house towards Wandsworth and then cut west to Wimbledon, going around the outside of the Common before coming back to Streatham via Morden.
And it was all fine, no problems like last week at all and, aside from the glutes and hams being a little tight towards the end of the run, it all went fine.
While it was nice for me to run injury free, the Garmin is obviously on its last legs. The LCD screen is starting to drop out on the bottom right to the point I cannot clearly see some tenth-of-a-mile figures. .6 .7 .8 and .9 all look almost exactly alike meaning I have to do some guesswork to find out where I am. Just three more weeks is all I need to squeeze out of it…

I’ve got a Garmin you can borrow if yours gives up.
It’s about the size of toy till, though.
Just copy and paste some old ones – no one will ever know!!!
I would though!
