Day 5 - Dead legs.

-

Day 5 - 8 miles

Today was a good day based on completing all my daily goals. However, the feeling and effort it took were all baaaaaad.

Yesterday, despite my tiny writeup, did involve a resistance based workout. I did a bunch of squats, iso work on my legs and basically beasted them for the best part... Today running they felt dead.

Beyond dead.

My run today, almost 9 miles (https://strava.app.link/UzcaWqyeAZ) included walking up hills, a detour round Tesco looking for Gatorade (found none, had water and m&m cake bars instead.... Yummy) and generally feeling lethargic and shit. The whole reason I stopped in Tesco was for calories as I didn't take any on board prior to the run as I had planned.

Activity stats.

Running miles: 8.8 miles
Activity calories: 592kcal
Calorie intake: 2809kcal (147P/329C/91F)

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...
