Day 2 - Life always finds a way.

Day 2 - Rest Day.
I love whoever planned my training plan (Pro-tip: It was me.)

In theory, nothing was on the cards today, however after a massive blunder by myself...running was done!

As I had left my IPOS (Bike) at work, I had to run to work (https://www.strava.com/activities/2655123735) to gather said bike, then followed three further bike rides...one to pickup a dog (https://www.strava.com/activities/2655123030), one to drop him off (https://www.strava.com/activities/2655316241) and then a final one home after food (https://www.strava.com/activities/2655473417).

Sometimes, even with the most details and intricate plan you have to realise that it is ok to change any training plan. Life always comes first as today showed. Extra miles are always a good thing, especially as I can already see into the future and see that tomorrow I am not going to be able to fulfil my mileage then...unless I run later in the evening after a SUPER busy day.

One point of concern today was a slight twinging at the top of my hamstring\lower end of my glute. Wasn't very happy with that, it is a constant pain I used to get when I ran at full speed during my football days...never ever got better but I haven't felt it in years, will certainly be something I keep on my "holy shit I hope this doesn't get worse" list.

Totals on the day:
Running - 5.23 miles
Riding - 16.47 miles
Activity calories - 1235kcal
Calorie intake - 3105kcal

Day six, seven and eight.

Obviously this would happen...life! That seems to be the key thing at the moment, life just keeps happening...what an ugly first week of plan! Day 6 - Rest day Ahhh...Rest day...now even though this was a rest day, I still had things to do work wise, but I reduced as much movement as possible. Just the one led Nordic Walk today, a lovely walk through the Downs exploring as always with a beautiful bunch of people. I ate a lot of food today...like LOADS! Way too much. If this weeks totals are OTT it is because of this day! Serves me right for visiting the CoOp on a gym close and buying Doritos! Nordic Walking: 2.44 miles Activity calories: 263kcal Daily intake: 4527kcal Day 7 - 24 Miles Well got up late, so that meant my window of running was drastically reduced so I didn't get up to the full 24 miles, but I did manage to smash out an incredible all-you-can-eat breakfast afterwards....good times that was! My planned run was going to take in a lot of Ashton Court and Lei...

B Complete sub 7 hours - FAIL! Pictures Saved story at here Training This is where the red flags fly! I the weeks leading up the the race, my entire family went down ill, including myself. During this time I managed a total of 6 miles in the three weeks leading up to the race...which is not good! This and having a severely stressed central nervous system are not a good thing to have going into an ultramarathon! So, training was severely lacking. Pre-race I felt really good on the morning. Sleep the night before was ok, I had a good breakfast and I was highly confident in the day. I had a wonderful journey up and a good ch...
