I decided to cut back on the long run today and give my body a chance to start feeling better again.  Ran out to the LPT.  First half of the run felt really good.  A little soreness in both achilles tendons but nothing major.  At the turnaround, I started to feel awful.  It was a struggle to finish the run.  This is really frustrating.  The pace wasn't horrible for a long run (7:50/mile) but it felt like I was crawling.

sorry andy. it's good that you are giving your body a chance to rest a bit more though. maybe a few days completely off?

may be you need a running partner!?!

I find that it helps tremendously to have someone to run with, at least for me anyway!

Good to scale back and give the body some rest, it will thank you in the long haul!
