Remember when I said about taking time off when you’re ill? 🤭

In my defence I did try and let it pass before going all out for the #holiday100, but the last week had been rough.

I think I’m over the worst, I almost feel human but have the post illness hacking cough today so no long run! 😆

In running related news, my Runna Tee arrived yesterday! 😃

My first training block doesn’t start until the 16th so next week will be recovery runs and, assuming I’m not coughing over everything, a few gym sessions.

Who’d have thought this was even possible?

A year ago I was recovering from Covid and feeling light headed after less than a kilometre. I finished 2022 with two long runs, clocking up just under 50km - got my numbers wrong, I was aiming for a minimum of 50k (Couch to *50k* and all)🤦‍♂️ - with a cold.

I was trying to finish the Ultra X #holiday100, which really didn’t go as planned…

I was trying to finish the @ultraxco #holiday100, which really didn’t go as planned. I’d planned to take Christmas Day off, but also had to take Boxing Day off due to too much rum 😆. 27th was too slippery and I fell ill - I went straight to bed after work on Wednesday - but decided I had to try and see how close I could get to the 100k on the final day of the challenge. First run was good, despite the wheezing, but before the planned 1/2 way point of run number 2 I was wheezing simply walking, let alone running. It was always a long shot, but I gave it my best shot. - 50 miles in a day requires a little more training! 😆 My knee held up brilliantly, so I’m in a good position to start my training for the 5 (maybe 6) ultras in 2023, starting on the 16th of January. 😃 I’ll be training with @runna_coach, starting with the Ultra X 50km plan taking me up to the Ultra X Scotland 50. #ad You can get two weeks free when you sign up to Premium using code COUCHT050K or using the link in my bio.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Running has taken a back seat for a few weeks as I’ve been dealing with the stress of cowboy builders and eventually giving up and finishing the job myself.

Today is the beginning of the Ultra X #Holiday100 so I’ve dropped the Return to Running and went out for a 12.5 km run today.

From Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve we have to complete 100km, an average of 12.5km per day…
