torey Jan 2017 11:26am, 8 Jan 2017 146 posts	0 torey am ok today! Blood pressure was so low that it wouldn't record! Oxygen stats plummeted and caused concern! ECG picked up abnormality! Raynaud's kicked in badly! I have a low blood pressure and a heart murmur anyway and what with other things wrong(!) it was decided I was a very fit unhealthy individual! No diagnosis other than a combination of factors contributed to the lights almost going out! Will run again tomorrow for a short distance WITH someone but annoyed that I missed the 21 miles my friends clocked!

larkim Jan 2017 1:00pm, 11 Jan 2017 1,596 posts	0 larkim Will have to start lurking here as have signed up to lose my ultra virginity with the Sandstone Trail Challenge in early May (33 trail miles going practically past my home at 32 miles in). I've sketched out a broad brush plan for running over the next few months and I'm in reasonably decent shape (for me) at the moment (targetting a 1hr30 half this weekend). Any thoughts - I've effectively built 2 x easy-ish 5 milers in the week plus building weekend mileage with doubles up to 5hrs30 combined (I'm hoping to finish in just about that sort of time). http://www.fetcheveryone.com/training-plan-view.php?id=451
