 Bonked big time. Just felt like crap after 8 miles and had to stop periodically. Prolly wont be doing that marathon in April, just not enough time to build properly. Maybe shoot for a summer or fall mary and just concentrate on shorter races til then.

That's ok, we all go through that when building on endurance. You've got the speed and now just need to build on time spent running. Be pateience and gradually build on the distance or time running each week. Do a cutdown week every 4th week or whenever your body dictates. Keep listening your to body and don't just drop the hammer or you'll be forced to take a break via injury.

Thanks for the advice! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who goes through it.
