      Before I make an ass of myself, could you explain the numbers in your results. They seem low for someone who hasn’t trained or ran a marathon. Do those times include stops and walking? I’m trying to train for a 5k next month and I’m a slow ass runner averaging a 12:30 mile. At the moment I’m focusing on distance and endurance not speed someone recommended it.

    I've recently gotten back into running, I stopped for over a decade due to injures from varies motorcycle crashes (all on a closed course) and had basically given up on the idea of running. last fall I decide to try it again, at first I could only do about 1km and now I'm doing 5km and moving towards doing 10km with the plan to do a 10km race this year or next. I know a full marathon is never going to be realistic but this makes me want to work towards a half marathon

That's bad. That's really bad. Especially, if you think you are going to run a marathon 13 days later. 😖
      Last month, my longest run was 30 km, which I managed without any problems at all. So I don't know what went wrong yesterday.
      I just wanted to say, that there's a very good reason why I am worried. It's more than just some silly thoughts.

I've done that while running with a friend, felt good, wanted to impress him and then has to take a few trainings off because of the soreness and pain. gradual increase is the key

    Can you add a link to the hydration vest that you used. It looks like a good one. 😊
    Thanks.

    Hi Fergus. Do you have a link to the hydration pack you're wearing? Looks like a good fit for a bigger guy and looks to maybe be Osprey who I know make excellent packs/bags etc. so this could be a winner!
