A longer run today, (duration rather than distance). Ran slower this time and my body feels better for it. Went up to the Old Shoreham Road and round Hove park, then out along the Old Shoreham Road again West and back again, down the Drive and along the seafront to the bandstand, then back up to home.
My knees feel a lot better this time, but the ball of my toe in my left foot is suffering. Went back into Run this afternoon and they will hopefully have the next size up for me to try on Wednesday, so I can ditch these ancient Reeboks and protect my feet a bit more. The padded socks are great though. I'm getting some issues with my right hamstring, no pain but it's like a pulling sensation about every 10 minutes or so of running - I'm stopping now to stretch everytime it happens.
Used a gel for the first time today after 40 minutes of running, not sure if it did anything but it tasted good! Will definitely use again as my runs get longer. Also carried water for the first time, which was fine but I was aware that I was making a sloshing sound, even though I couldn't hear it with my headphones on! Was listening to the Audiofuel first hour for marathon training, it was good - amazing how handy it is to be reminded to relax your shoulders and breathe.
