With just over 2 weeks to go until the "Beauty and the Beast" trail marathon, I've totted up my training mileage. Keeping a running log is not something I've ever done!
Since entering I've clocked up:
Runs - 106
Total mileage - 693 (or 1115 km for those who work in metric)
Average Run - 6.53 miles (or 10.52 km)
Longest Run - 22 miles
Shortest Run - 2 miles
A nice and easy fortnight should see me in tip-top condition for the adventure.
The course has 5000 feet worth of ascent and a river to wade through half a dozen times.
Sounds like a walk in the park. By the end it will be.
I've chosen "Dead Ringer For Love" as my music pick. Let's hope the DJ plays it just as I set off on the sixth and final lap as a little booster ( with a thousand entries the chance is more wishful).
Anyway, I am really looking forward to the challenge. I know it's by far and away the toughest event I have attempted but it seemed such a jolly when my wine-induced brain gave it the go-ahead.
I've lost nigh on 3 stone in weight and my 45 year frame is back to its youthful prime.
Bring on The Beast!!
