I popped out for a rep of my main training hill today for old timeβs sake. It seems quite easy now and the loose rocks much smallerβ¦

When I did the BG in 2010 I did dozens of hill reps on Ilkley Moor. From memory each rep was 550 feet climb / 0.75 mile. Thereβs a big cairn at the top and a fantastic view. I swore Iβd never do another after succeeding at the BG but I did go up again a few weeks later to say hello to the cairn and see the view

Yes fenners, I've got some tendon damage on my right ankle. I was putting it down to the dry conditions. Also the soles of my feet became quite damaged and started to feel it by the later stages.
Hope recovery is going well, I'm still In the lakes for another couple of days with no intention of looking at another hill π

Stoosh, I've never had anything like it before. Although I only did 59+ miles my legs are fine. But sleep is disturbed due to the same as you describe.

Yep. I wonβt be entering the ballot but good luck to those that are. I will still be jealous in July of those that are successful

I'm still undecided. On one hand i would like to go back to right some wrongs from this year and on the other i'm not sure i want to do the training to get me there. I've barely run since this year's race and quite enjoying the freedom of minimal training.
I did see Marc was on the windup today, it amuses me to think people get caught out and don't do their research

I'm seriously considering entering the ballot on Wednesday. I said never again after 2018, but...
I'm guessing ballot means no mad race for a place at 9AM, and no crashing servers?
