As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been training for an event called ‘Hell Down South’ which felt like a really long way away before Christmas and now is bloody next week…shit.
I slogged my guts round a ten mile run on Wednesday and it was super slow and a tad painful on the knees by the end of it. The organisers don’t tell you how far the race is but I’ve been told by someone I can expect it to be up to 15 miles. I’m not so much worried about the distance as that is just a matter of time but some of those hill I’ll need pushing up!!
I’m hoping the whole course will look like this…
In reality it will probably be more like this…
Tomorrow I’m going to try and get my 5 k time down with some interval training. Sunday if I’ve got time I might try and run one of my preferred routes. It’s around 5 miles and it up along a bridle path so enough in the countryside that it’s nice to run through but it has actual roads.
I realise there are a lot of “tries” in this post and it’s not very positive…after a long week of training and good eating …I’ve had a rest day and a chinese.
I’m so chill right now.
P.S
Do you think I’m buff?
At least you’re trying. 🙂
That is very true! Thank you 🙂
