Sunday was a pretty miserable day weather wise, but I had a lot of fun testing out our new Alcohol and Wood Stove, these coupled with our “normal” gas stove means we should have a lot of options for our camping cooking next year and beyond.

I did feel really good on the long run, felt strong and had consistent energy, and pretty much kept to the same pace throughout.
This 17 miler is a really easy trail loop from my home town. I used to do this loop a lot when training for my Bournemouth and Loch Ness Marathons.

The Wall is an Ultramarathon. 69 miles from Carlisle to Gateshead, UK. Race is June 2021. The training continues. Training Week 11 After the Virtual London Marathon, I had a week off from running. Just to recover physically and mentally and to put an end to that training block. […]
