Christmas Pudding Dash

If doing this as a race then it’s still worth some juicy training points. Be sure to get a good warm up and cool down in. The best place for that is probably along the village pavement although be careful as the road can get busy. Try and keep the RPE consistent throughout and be prepared for challenging underfoot conditions.

The hills and mud are likely to make this challenging. This is about having fun, but work hard in the tough hilly sections and you can still make good gains from a race like this.

So… I don’t think I will make it as a trail runner. I fell over, my calf muscles were burning and there wasn’t much good running. That being said we also laughed a lot 😂 and I will probably get suckered into next years.

Trail running when it’s muddy is the worst. It’s bad enough in the summer. The key is to ignore the watch completely and run to feel. Pace will always be way off and walking is to be expected. The most important thing for an event like this is you had fun. Well done Jodie.
