I did it!!! 😃😃😃
Ran the whole way and it felt good!
After my disaster last weekend this felt great! I really needed to get this distance as I think I was starting to put a barrier up in my mind to achieving this…but no more!
I changed a few things this week:
1. Different tailwind flavour. Green tea buzz is not what I would call delicious but certainly doable!
2. I remembered to take ibuprofen to ward of any aches.
3. I chose a much flatter route!
4. NO jelly babies!!
I was really pleased with my pacing too. I decided not to look at my watch at all and just go with RPE 3-5 and, despite the pouring rain (which was actually quite refreshing), it worked!! 😃
What I will say though is that my neck is really aching. I think it might be from my hydration pack but now I know how much I’ll drink I won’t need to fill it right up!
Super chuffed that David and Noah came to join on my last leg – gave me a proper boost 😃
Now, just a matter of another 18 miles next weekend and then I can look forward to tapering! Only 3 weeks to go 😱
Finally, just a little plug for my just giving page – please donate if you can!
