Bewl 5 miles. Found this very tough in the heat. Walked intermittently and then walked near the end to help Chrissie when she sprained her ankle. Mark came back from the finish to help so I then left Chrissie with Mark to run to the finish. Not my best race, but actually was a PB compared to last year at 1 hour 10 mins ( 1 hour 14 mins last year )
I think Bewl is deceptive, and needs much more training than you would think so will remember that for next year.
I am aware my training has dropped off dramatically, just trying to keep getting some done. Haven’t forgotten the Amble or Beachy Head are getting closer, will start putting the time in.
Well done Ellie. Yeah Bewl is a bit of a beast. Much harder than the mileage suggests. Hopefully you will still have some of the London fitness in the legs, but yes, the sooner you can get the miles in, the better. But you do know now that are you capable of running those distances on the day, which should still give you a lot of confidence.
