There is no doubt about it, RunKeeper is amazing. It has turned my training up side down and I now run at least 2-3 times a week, which is pretty awesome considering that I haven’t been running for the last ten years.
However, there is one really annoying thing about RunKeeper. The pace. The wonderful, yet terrible pace. I can’t help myself. If I don’t run with a pace at about 5 min pr. km it feels like it was wasted. Although I know it is not. As if that was not enough, I made a stupid choice this evening. It is spelled tarmac. I can already feel it, my legs are hurting and reminding me of what might happen when winter comes. No more gravel, only tarmac. But maybe, just maybe, a few centimeters of snow will make it runnable?!
How on earth would I manage running a marathon? How do people do it? How long would you have to train to be able to do it without totally ruining the week after? Links and tips are appreciated!
