Run, jog, walk, crawl. Just make sure you get the mileage in. In the past I have fallen short on my long runs. Giving up. Exhausted. Can’t go anymore. Well enough of that. If you have to, just walk, OK? It’s still time and miles on your feet. It counts. Here’s how to finish your long run.
How to Finish Your Long Run
Wednesday’s Run
7 miles
1 hour, 27 minutes, 26 seconds
(5 miles with run group in my Asics, 2 miles “barefoot” in my Vibram FiveFingers)
Before the first run…
How to Finish Your Long Run
Then I came home, rinsed the sweat crystals off, drank a recovery drink, mustered some guts and went out again. Last year I would have said “It’s too hot.” Last year I would have said “My legs are tired.” This year I said “Make sure you get the mileage in.” Glad I did. That’s how to finish your long run.
That’s what happens when I check twitter before I read my blogs for the morning!
Great run!!!
And even better job at not stopping.
Walking doesn’t mean you gave up, simply means you are saving up your energy to run some more!
Thanks!
It’s all good. 🙂
Way to go for not making excuses! I totally get those sweat crystals! I was trying to explain it to my husband, who didn’t know what the heck I was talking about!
