The ERYRI 25K at Ultra Trail Snowdonia & Dolomiti Extreme Trail getting closer: I’m focusing more on strength training.

My gluteus medius, the muscles on the side of my hips, are protesting. This is going to be an interesting race.

Maybe it’s a bit naive to spontaneously decide to run an ultra, but I want to have another 50 km's in my legs.

Rest or run? The trick of getting fitter is not in training harder, it’s in recovering smarter.

I just checked the results of the Dolomiti Extreme Trail (DXT) of last year. What can I say? I am in shock.

Sara is out for a run and I’m joining her on the bike. No running for me today after yesterday’s trail run.

I’ve been talking about my first ultra in Sussex, but I don’t think I’ve ever told you when and why I signed up.
