So Leeds Half this morning..... had a few set backs....
1 my knee still isn't right this combined with the weather means my training has been minimal
2 I accidentally had 9 pints on Friday night
3 it appears that where I thought it said flat next to Leeds Half Marathon it actually said hilly as fuck!
Chip time was 2.28.19
I can't actually get up the stairs now at home. Need to get something sorted with my knee or Berlin could be looking shady.
I had to walk the last 2k, not physically tired or out of breath but my knee was so painful I just couldn't keep doing it. Obv ran the last 500m though. Have an amazing pic to post later.
Personal highlight of the day was being overtaken by an elderly man pushing a handicapped lady in a wheelchair. Hero.

Well done Stu
Being fit enough to do a half 5 months before Berlin is a really good base
Go backwards up the stairs, it's much easier that easy

Confirmed. Got that tip from a guy at the gym when I used to train legs to the point of puking. |

A rare Gatso error. Would be rude to let it slip. |

You should Look at glucosamine sulphate, obv not if your a diabetic or have similar issues. I had knee flare ups for years, a bit of keyhole didn't rectify a thing. Then some wise man told me about the above and now it's nice and kneesy, it turns out quite a few of the running fraternity are on this. No more than 1500mg a day for me. |

A rare Gatso error. Would be rude to let it slip. surely someone is working on an auto correct that actually reads what you've written instead of assuming you meant something nonsensical |

So that's my longest run in the build up to Sheffield done and dusted. Can't pretend I'm not pleased that I've got a relatively easy two weeks ahead now.
Over the past few weeks I've come to realise:
[X] I actually like running
[ ] I like running for more than about an hour
Once Berlin is over and done with and I can tick 'run a marathon' off of the life goals list, I'm gonna be sticking with 10ks I reckon.
