Been busy but I did my trail race on Saturday, unfortunately I hadn't managed to shake off my horrible cold so it was hard work on the first flat mile never mind the big climb. I ran as much as I could (more than most people) but I just couldn't recover at all, my heart rate refused to come back down. I managed to make up a lot of time on the descent thankfully but it was basically hard work. I managed 1:36 for 15k and 1700ft of ascent which was well within my goal of under two hours. Spent most of Sunday in bed illand am resting up now until I shake this cold for good.
It was a beautiful day, a little on the warm side really and I took advantage of the walk breaks to look at the stunning views, I could see for miles.![]()
I have another trail race on 3rd of November though this one winds its way along the shores of Ullswater so will be more undulating rather than long climbs and descents.
