So, the previous post was actually started back in November, and because I have been running at lunchtimes the chances to update this blog have disappeared. I even have to do work during the day!
Anyway, there's much to report on the ultra front. I've been doing my research of course, and am formulating a plan. So far, I have increased weekly mileages a bit (did quite a lot over Christmas) and trying to get a weekly long one in. Furthest is 14 miles so far but I hope to do a bit more this weekend. I did 9 mile off road run Christmas week and really enjoyed it, so I'm now erring towards trail type of runs, and to this end have entered a 26 mile trial run around Belvoir Estate in February, which is only in about 6 weeks. This should give me a springboard to tackle the next milestone, which is s 50K (30 miles) and I' a bit torn on when to do this. I have to plan a family holiday in, so need to fit it around that, and then the next step is a 50 miler which I have partly penciled in as the Round Rotherham trail race in October - it's fairly local and is really a walk which runners can take part in so no pressure. This means I need a 50K probably in June or July but might consider one earlier. I suppose it depends how I feel after the 26 Belvoir outing.
