| Introduction | I ran my first marathon in 2002. Well, I ran the first part, then I jogged, then walked and finally shuffled painfully to the finish line. I hated it, it beat me mentally and physically and I swore never to go near such an event ever again. A decade later I was spending a lot of time with multiple marathoners; inspiring yet often slightly unhinged individuals who spend a great deal of their leisure time running marathons and ultras. I am nowhere near being a natural and any successes take a lot of hard work, as do the frequent failures. This blog is a record of my attempts to better understand the physical and mental requirements of endurance running and to see how far I can improve my performances. Now shorn of my dreadlocks I have altered the blog name from 'Dread Running'. |
