how much have you been running beforehand and at what frequency? and what was the previous big distance that you've done and when was it? i knew you were running but i didnt know you were putting in the miles like this

my question is, are you taking a bigger jump than you should. you should be incrementally pushing the kms up by about 10% a week until you get to your target. going from 5km runs to 15km runs will only increase the chances of injury.

the other thing to think about is nutrition. make sure you eat a big meal the evening before..lots of carbs and protein to make sure you've got a full supply for the run the next day.

an electrolytme mixed into your water is also good to give you energy throughout a long run.

the trials of miles...
