Learning to love the long run (again)
Learning to love the long run (again)

It’s the end of September and I’m deep in marathon training for Verona in November. 

The hardest thing about doing a marathon is not the race itself, but the training. And arguably the hardest thing about training is the long run. Juggling increased mileage with all the other demands of life is always a challenge, and sometimes the idea of going out and running for hours on my own, on legs that feel fatigued from the increased training volume, doesn’t fill my heart with joy.

I’ll admit I had a bit of a wobble at the beginning of the month.

Runners choose to work with me for a host of different reasons. Maybe they struggle with injury. Maybe they find running a slog and want to enjoy it more. But one reason that comes up again and again is that they want better posture when they run. Perhaps they’ve been told by their physio that it’s something they need to work on. Or they may just have a sense that it’s not as good as they’d like. So the question is: how important is posture when you run? And if it matters, how can you improve it?

It was all going so well…. Until it wasn’t.

I’d bagged my first ever good-for-age place in April’s London Marathon. Training was going as smoothly as tempered chocolate. My body seemed able to handle everything I threw at it: capoeira classes, kettlebell workouts, and a higher weekly mileage than I’d ever managed.

I was feeling strong. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s that time of year. The clocks go back, the evenings get dark, and thoughts turn to spring marathons.
