Vix. Glad you are back out. What heat?
Ankle story is at www.westhighlandwayrace.org/Racetales/2006/Mark_Hamilton_2006.doc
There's some advise about a headtorch in there as well.
Some of the other tales are a good read. Also a great but very scary section on medical issues for ultra running. Probably best not read that bit!
Am going to go and read that story - thanks for the link.
I've not tried Nuun tablets but a few of my triathlete friends swear by them.
I went over on my ankle 8 miles into this year's Lightning Run, and still persisted to a total of 30 miles. Luckily it wasn't broken, but it has taken til now to get back to how it was, probably because of my willingness to persist back then.
Am just lookin for a night where I can do run/walk myself.
Well done on the night adventure Andy
I had to go back to the docs today as the abs are not working. We are trying different ones so hopefully toe will be better soon.
Got a liittle sprint tri this weekend, that will help with ultra running
))))
Well.....after last week's saga, quads felt completely normal yesterday so decided to test it over 45 min...........except 45 minutes became an hour, became 2, 2:15 and then it went again. Rang up my wife who's initial reply was "Twat!" Hobbled home (she's away in Liverpool)
Lesson number 1 - if you miss your long run at the weekend due to minor injury don't try and make up for it as soon as poss.
Lesson number 2 - after a minor injury, stick to a shortish run (as I'd planned) to see if it's Ok - or a minor injury might become a major one.
Whoops......
MR F i consisder myself very fortunate to live in Connah`s quay Actually. its just an average town, but if you go one way out the driveway. its miles of cycle track (Pan flat) and if you go right its out of civilization within 100 yards pretty much. really love that.
Thanks everyone for the suppport an well done`s.
good luck AJH with your toe, and the Sprint tri. eeek respect.
Rich 1 : sorry to hear about that. i know what you mean about loosing track oh Hours.
Enjoy the 18miles mr F. Nothing like a bit of incentive.
Have a good one Mr F - I'm jealous.
Hi Rich.
Morning all,
Hope you're all well. Well done on your night adventure Andy, sounds great. Glad you had a good walk too Vixx. Hope all the injuries are improving AJH and Rich. Where are you Hillheader - I definitely wouldn't like training in temperatures like that.
Hope you have a good run Mr F. The rain clouds are gathering here. A steady 12miles for me yesteday with a swim this morning and got a 10k race tonight. I'll start to focus my atention on this race from August.
Feeling very frustrated - training was going superbly for my UltraRace Peak in August. Had a cracking 1/2 marathon 2 weeks ago and should have done the sensible thing and had a couple of days off - but, oh no, just couldn't help myself and now I haven't done much for 2 weeks - and my plan was to start upping the mileage through July.
Having said that I did do 2 or 3 runs over 20miles in June.....so hopefully a decent base is there.
I'm just not very patient with my body but at 46, I think I have to learn to be
Still haven't signed up for this one - not sure whether to just enter or discuss with wife first - both carry risks
Buckets of sweat today. In Thailand for work so hot. Off to Alaska in 4 weeks time so might be a bit cooler.
I'm waiting for right moment to tell wife. Watching the list fill up though so better do it soon?
Enjoy the race KP
Guys, I feel old and I'm only 32! Hope I'm still as for as you at 46!!
Good running vixx!
Well, after much faffing about I've now entered. First 100 miler. got nearly a year to prepare, so hopefully i'll be able to do it!
Nice run, Mr F - sounds great. Where are you?
Jellybaby - you're braver than me - I'm still pontificating - and that is today's unnecessarily long word
So, who has actually done a ton before and is brave enough to enter a second? Or are we all virgins?!
