General chat - how's your running going? (aussie.zone)

Hey. I thought I'd give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running... eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how's your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc... if it's popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don't)

Currently half way through the Strava marathon plan. Feeling fairly optimistic about my chance of success, but noticing a couple of issues now:

Getting bored after two hours into a run. I'm getting into more podcasts though so it shouldn't be too bad.

Running only on gel for fuel doesn't feel great on my stomach. I think I need to bring some light savoury snacks to mix it up a little.

I like to mix up long runs with some long intervals at a quicker pace. They don't need to be fast or terribly long. Just something to anticipate and give me a feeling that I'm progressing through the workout-milestones.

I'll probably be a bit less conservative with my pace once I've got one or two marathons under my belt and feel more comfortable with the distances, but for now I'm determined not to injure myself!
