120 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Long runs are a crucial part of any plan. You’ll need to do these to improve. Again running with a group can really help. Be sure to hydrate and fuel.

PACE

I was determined to get 10 miles in today, everything was going well. Well I was still suffering from a cold and was snotty and headachey but I felt ok in terms of my body otherwise, was just struggling with my breathing. Until I got to 6.82 miles (looked at my watch!) and then my glute really kicked in well the sciatic nerve pain kicked in. It was really horrible actually, felt like I was being stabbed in the back the rest of the way and really slowed me down. Ended up having a major epsom salts bath. I’ve got a call with MSK service but hopefully will have some answers. Its the one thing that’s worrying me about the ultra

Sorry to hear that. You don’t have much luck do you. Keep stretching the back as well if you can. A few good back stretches I do are putting my fists into my lower back and the leaning backwards from the hips. Then reaching sideways down the leg to try and touch my ankles. Also rotating from the hips is another good one. Those daily stretches, plus others for my glutes and hamstrings just about keep me in check, so hopefully they may help you keep loose before the weekend.
