So exciting that we have reached race week and I think you’ve done so well during this plan to get those big runs ticked off. I’m buzzing for you because I think you’ll all have fantastic time running this race, what a cool thing to be doing with friends. You should be really proud of how far you’ve come and in a weeks time you’ll be an ultra runner. Bring it on.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

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.
