Alok Jha's marathon attempt
To run or not to run?
To paraphrase a great philosopher, with training for a marathon comes great responsibility. Admittedly, most of this experiment has thrown that lofty ideal to the wind but, all the while, that responsibility has been subtly taking its revenge.
Falling out of bed was the giveaway
If I had known how injury-prone my legs were, I might have thought twice about this marathon attempt.
Battle of the mind
With under six weeks to go, time is getting tight. The good news is that my training is picking up pace again.
Improved position
Never one to be frightened of being told about my abnormalities, I went to see a posture specialist last week.
Wounded knee
No way could injury strike me down. Except that it did.
