Training Plans & Runs | Beachy Head Ultra

I don’t really feel like I need to say a great deal here. I have great confidence that you will smash this.

Having yet to experience this race myself and the challenge the Seven Sisters present I’m going to respect the fact it’s still going to be very demanding. But get that early pace right and you’ll do well.

Hopefully we get to see each other briefly at the start.

Best of luck Anna. Not that you need it.

No targets here, as I only think that adds to expectation and these races are all about getting it done, not time.

PACE

I loved this! Felt really good, kept up the pace, chatted to lovely people… I had a look and I was 15 mins faster than last year, and last year I was 15 mins faster than the previous year! So good to see you… Sorry you weren’t feeling it today… You’re an amazing runner as well as a fab coach… This was a really different type of run for you wasn’t it… don’t be hard on yourself for finding it tough! Really lovely to sit with you and the others for food- it rounded off a great day!

You’re awesome. A real inspiration and was lovely to see you on the route and spend time together afterwards. That’s a great improvement across two years and hopefully there’s still more to come. Anyone that does the ultra on that course is a hero in my book. Just outside the top 20 which is pretty cool as well. I also got the impression that you were never really in trouble out there and it must have been nice to pass quite a lot of people in the final 10 miles. That’s a really good sign you’ve run and executed a good race. Thank you for those kind comments for me as well. I’ve never been a fan of those type of runs/conditions, but overall the experience as a whole was fun. I don’t take myself too seriously, as the video shows.
