I feel like this plan has gone really well with very little niggles and some quality sessions in there. I’m confident Saturday will go well on the back of the training you’ve done over the past 15 weeks. Most important thing is to go out there and enjoy it. Very best of luck Anna. You got this 💪

Lovely straightforward run up and down my road, just me and the trees on either side. Very chilled.
Sounds idyllic. I’m trying to decide whether I run solo or with the club tonight, but this is encouraging me to do the former for some much needed head space. Well done Anna

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

Decided to give a tiny very low level musce twinge a bit longer to recover… it’s been fine and is a whingery not an injury! (Credit to Allie Bailey for that phrase!) … but I thought as long as I’m moving, a walk would be okat this close to the race. Feel free to deduct some points! 😅
You know what. Cos I luv ya, I’ll give you the points. Plus as an ultra runner the walking is actually beneficial. Just don’t tell anyone as I had another runner asking for pts for a “brisk walk” and I told them to “do one” (more politely of course). Plus it’s a smart move this close to race day. Agree, love the term “whingery”. I’ll be using that going forward.

50K Ultra

90 POINTS

Well that was humbling!!!! Ha ha ha!!! I thought 50km would be easy but no!! Actually it went quite fast with aid stations about every 8km… I pulled a glute muscle early on and worried it would be a problem, but apart from having to stop and stretch a few times it was okay… I got this heavy lungs feeling towards the end which I guess was due to the relentless uphills… I’ll send you the elevation profile… there’s basically no flat at all!!! Anyway, beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, but I think I need a few more very long training runs before the 100k! Xx
There are 50ks and then there are 50ks. And that was probably a 50k which was more like an 70k with those hills. Outrageous. But you got it done, it’s another one complete. I would say always have a look at a route/elevation when entering a race. Most ultras are going to be challenging, but that’s an insane amount of elevation given the distance. We’ll definitely increase the longer runs now for the 100k (leave that with me) and the fact we have the nicer weather and longer evenings coming our way, that will help. Great work though Anna.
