I have a dilemma. Do I accept that my knees are not going to get better quickly enough for me to Draycote or do I keep trying to increase my mileage gradually and hope for the best? Trev has had a talk with me this morning and now I feel despondent. He says I should realise that I always get injured when training for the marathons and maybe its time I settled for running shorter distances (which I don't want to do), that maybe my body just isn't biomechanically right for long distance running because for the last couple of years I do all this training then miss out on the actual event.I feel sad thinking that I may have to stop running so far but in the back of my mind I have a feeling that maybe he is right? Am I just being unrealistic in my goals? I really don't enjoy the shorter runs as much as the longer ones and I need to have something to aim for, something to achieve that I enjoy. I have my heart set on more marathons and an ultra. I just don't know if I will ever make it.I really don't know what to do :0(
About Me
- Name: HappyasLarry
- Location: Foulness Island, Essex
I started running in 1998 after illness to get fit again. I have taken part in one Flora London Marathon - highlight of my running so far - and several half marathons, 10 miles and 10k races. Every event is a special one and during every run I achieve something special (even if it doesn't always seem that way!!)Running is part of my life and I can't imagine being without it now.
