Ignore the pts and the way it’s presented. Just because I don’t have a 145 mile training run on my system (funny that). On a serious note, I think how you approach this is important. You entered this not expecting to get a place. So I’d treat every mile as a bonus. Don’t ruin yourself trying to prove a point. You don’t need to prove a point to anyone. What you need to do is look out for yourself and not doing any short term or permanent damage which is going to prevent you running again in a 7-10 days time. Because that ability to be able to get out and run regularly is what matters the most. So just bear that in mind and be smart. Let’s have a chat Wednesday about strategy as well.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

So important to respect the distance and get the pacing right. If you go off at a comfortable enough pace, then you’ll run a good race. Keep fuelling even if you don’t feel like it. Ultra’s have been described as “eating contests” by some of the leading runners. Walk the hills if need be.
