Apparently the UK is the only country where we deliberately go walking in the mountains, get soaked right through, wild camp, then get into the wet clothes and boots the next day and do it all again. That’s what our #Mountainleader trainer told us anyway #mountains#wildcamping#MTA#running
Well, that was unexpected. What should have been a low impact Z2 run turned into a second fastest 10k time 🤣
Happy Tuesday #runnersofmastodon 🏃♂️💨☕️ keep #running 🎉
What an event! Completed SMVE 50 miles. I feel proud, grateful and stronger than ever.
Starting at midnight, headlamps on straight into with a 400m climb was quite daunting. Found a good pack to run with. Made our way through the night and as we neared the first aid station witnessed a magnificent sunrise. The day got warmer, and legs got more tired, but found a way to push through and made it in just under 14 hrs.
Monday:
91 seconds of plank
6 km of #running (17°C)
Stepped outside, heard thunder. Four hundred metres into the run, rain. One KM into the run, soaked by the nice cool rain. Had a blast on the short run.
Now, we back up and head off to the forest. …yes, I'm bringing my running gear, just in case the mood hits.
Something totally different on this morning's solo trail run: I didn't stop to take any photos! The few I took were while running. Also, comparing watch vs. phone recording times, see if you can guess which is which (answer in ALT).
Weekly #blog. I’m thrilled to have extra time for #running and #cycling this week, especially since the rain storms politely scheduled themselves to fit my plans
New week, started with 10.62km. today is a day of the accidental PB's (even Strava agrees today) I didn't set out to run a PB, I set out to have an enjoyable morning run.
Took the old phone, today, because I wanted a picture of the sunrise, and also because I wanted to try my new water running belt.
Top tip for the water belt; if you think it's tight enough, then it'll probably need to be tighter - live and learn.
Very proud of my result!!! I did it in 3:45, which is 27 minutes faster than my first #marathon. Weather was awesome, the crowd too. Very big event and the organization was top class.
So fun!! #running#ottawaraceweekend
Managed 40km/1100m elevation in the pouring rain and unexpectedly cold temperatures before DNFing. Absolutely nailed nutrition, hydration, plan, pace, & HR but I couldn't stay warm. Sucks but I'm not built for the cold, I was expecting warmth/heat today. I am rolling into a training block for a 50k in August and wondering if I could fit in a solo attempt at the 80km in the fall. It would be a shame to waste all this readiness.
The DNF is rotting my socks! I am going to call that 40km a last long run before tapering and I will have another kick at the 80km in three weeks!
A very EXCLUSIVE race. One runner! One aid station at the halfway point (Yay fam jam crew!). An out and back along a local trail. The inaugural @ThunderHoneySnow Ultra!
Free registration. Start time before sunrise. GPS watch timing. Race photography by selfies.
