It wasn't the original plan...running a hundred miles. I was going to attempt the Lakeland 50 #lakeland100, and take a break, maybe do other things. But, after the euphoria of finishing 50 miles, coming fifth female in a time of 10.2 hours, in the beautiful Lake District, I just couldn't stop there. Even after seeing the pain the 100 mile runners were experiencing I thought, why not? Let's see what my mind and body can really cope with. I'll get over the idea after a week or so I thought, or not. September the 1st came and at 9am I was sat in Manchester airport in Costa with my finger on the button ready to enter the Lakeland 100 2017. And, being one of the lucky ones that got in (entries filled in about 6minutes) it was decided, my training would start on holiday, in Sedona Arizona USA.
I hope that through this blog I can give some idea into the madness of even considering to run 100 miles; the trials and errors that come with training; things tried and tested; and hopefully inspire, encourage and maybe educate or assist other runners, or up and coming runners.
