I have started training with the Shawnessy Running Room marathon clinic group. Now, they are about 6 weeks behind where I need to be on the schedule, so I am trying some tricks to make this work.
On sunday, I was up an hour earlier for breaky, and then started my run from my front door, and ran for 50 minutes to the running room, which is approx 8k away. Their scheduled run was 13k, so this gave me just shy of 22 k. This made for a nice buildup. I already know that I am a social runner, as the first 8k was kind hard, but once I was with the group, it felt much easier. The first few with the group were nice enough that I started to think that I should just extend my run back home.
But my the end of the scheduled run, some common sense prevailed, and I took the train home. My hamstrings felt tight, and I had spent a good portion of the run advising the newbies about getting to the starting line uninjured. So I followed my own advice.
