It's 2am.

This is what support looks like, Sannas partner was the main support throughout the night on the first attempt and her father supported throughout the night on the second attempt.

There are also three friends in the background who were running plenty of support miles with her.

Film will premiere on the 28th November (in five weeks time) in Fishguards Theatr Gwaun, go get yours booked.

Today was threshold day again. Two 15-minute blocks with a 5-minute recovery in between. I also managed to run a 10k personal best. I'd never seriously attempted a fastest 10k time before, but there's clearly room for improvement.

Not completely fit, strained and an unbalanced HRV. I leave it to Garmin Coach about what kind of workouts to do in the coming days. For today he thought a base run of 1h15 was sufficient 😊🏃 ♂️👌

Back into the Threshold Tredmill after a week playing in the French mountains.

Buddy Bas succesfully finished his UTMB 100K Nice Ultra within the cutoff time.
Very happy he could finish his project succesfully.
It was fun to support him. High up in the mountains racing from one aid station to the other in the middle of the night 😃.

And I've changed my program again.
I'm now using a two-week training cycle where I run every other day. A long run on the weekend, and during the week, I do whatever the Garmin Daily Suggested Workout recommends for that day.
The long runs include elevation gain, based on my October goal (Bear Trail, 58km, 1500m).

Garmin's recommendation for today was an easy bike ride:

It was inevitable. If you both use Garmin Coach for your training and you're training for the same goal event (Trail Marathon this Saturday), and you happen to be near each other, you'll both do the Tempo workout prescribed for the same day together 😆.

THE LAP

Documentary featuring Lee May and Tom Reeves premieres tonight at 8pm on Youtube.

www.Youtube.com/@KelpandFern

A 75km loop around Windermere, England's largest natural lake.

I've spent the last few months editing this film and it's been quite bizarre watching torrential rain, ankle deep mud and low clouds during the current heat waves we've had in the UK.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have working on it.

I want to thank Lee and Tom for letting me be a part of their journey and to the race itself!!

I film a handful of ultras a year as Kelp and Fern, mostly in the UK, documenting peoples journeys that otherwise wouldn't be captured and I have never felt so welcome by an event or race before in my 10+ years doing this, they couldn't have done more for me.

So a huge thanks to David the RD and everyone at The Lap for having me.

I decided to run the Houttrail 25km route again this morning. Because some of the paths were quite overgrown, it was sometimes difficult to navigate.

There was an overgrown section with ferns taller than me, which were also wet from the morning dew. As a result, I was completely soaked after just a few hundred meters :-).

Fortunately, the sun quickly came out, and I dried off quickly.
