I'm not long back from this 42 mile race on the northern half of the West Highland Way, from Tyndrum to Fort William. I finished it in 8 hours 2 minutes, my worst time of my 4 attempts so far, but probably a reasonable reflection of where my running is at the moment (and, being more positive, I suppose it was only 34 minutes away from a PB Very Happy

). That's my 5th ultra of the year which all the coaching manuals would say about 4 to many. At the moment I'm inclined to agree.

A huge thanks to Phil T and Alison for providing my backup, and for hanging around waiting for me for long spells in the increasingly wet weather.

Well done Ian. As I said to you at the Comrie pram push - I just can't imagine re starting the training - my running post fling has been very hit and miss - great runs interspersed with just awful fatigue and a hamstring that goes from tight to very tight. I think I would probably do well to just take some time off but we shall see! Tomorrow is another day!

Enjoy your recovery!
