Yesterday I did my first real long run. The training program said I should run 14km and that it should take in between 1h 24min and 1h 38min. Karin supported me and stood on the treadmill next to me for an hour, which was really nice. The whole thing felt so daunting at first and I was starting to realise how much it is going to take of me to go through with this. Not the least time wise.
Once I got started though it wasn't that bad and the kilometers added up rather quickly. Passing the 1h mark changed something in my mind - the count down started and the less than 4 km remaining felt like a peace of cake. Completed 14.5km in 1h 25 min and the only place I could really feel it was in my knees. I wasn't particularly tired. Feels good that I'm able to keep up with the 'under 4h training program'. If it's going to be done, it should be done properly.
