Montane Ullswater Trail 20 yesterday, I didn’t expect to finish.
Due to a foot issue 12 weeks ago, I had to knock my mileage right back and take a complete break for a couple of weeks.
Low training mileage, stair stepper, bike and keeping up with the strength work and Rowan Wood Run Coaching guiding me, pulled me through yesterday. It wasn’t pretty, but I got it done 👍
had a super strong race coming 3rd V40 female 💪
Then true to form, after going to the shop, she’s waiting for me at the finish with a big hug, an even bigger bag of salt and vinegar Hula Hoops and a Coke 😆 (I don’t even like coke but that was the best thing ever).
Awesome weekend in the Lakes ❤️
ran a super smooth event, lovely marshall’s - big thank you to the lady at the last aid station, who helped me get the tailwind that was stuck in a sandwich bag into my bottle before I had a meltdown 😆
Well run, inclusive, hard recommend 💯
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m shuffling my poor feet to the kitchen for another brew, whilst contemplating doing this for 50 miles in 8 weeks time 😳😁☕️
