Planning has begun in earnest for the White Rose 100 in November and the post race blues from Hardmoors has gone and my focus can move forward.
Training
After weeks of worry about even making the start line, I finished the Hardmoors 60.
This was the last full week before Hardmoors and wraps up a miserable month of non-training before the big race.
With only 2 weeks to Hardmoors, my knee diagnosis wasn’t terrible but getting to the start line without losing the summers fitness might be tricky.
After illness last week, my knee has decided it wants attention now.
Literally. Picked up some sort of stomach bug or food poisoning on Monday and couldn’t shake it until Friday.
Big challenge this week by racing on one evening then an ultra the next morning.
Getting back from holiday feeling sluggish and bloated meant an easy return to it.
Had grand plans of running a lot while away on holiday and keeping some stable mileage going. Didn’t happen.
After the long day out on the Billy Bland relay, it’s been a nice easy week capped by my third first place at a parkrun this year.
