Run - Specific Endurance 3:20:43 [2] 15.07 mi (13:19 / mi) +236m 12:42 / mi
slept:9.0 shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
The third of my snowy runs.
This one was longer and followed a similar route to the others, in deep snow to Eccleshall and back on multi-terrain. I wore Yak Trax ice grips which are spot on in snow and ice, wore my race vest and carried trail running poles.
10 out of 10 for clothing:
Merino wool base layer, OMM Kamleika Jacket and Overtrousers which are superb! Windproof, waterproof and very comfy. No problem running in them. I was toasty warm throughout this run considering I was on my feet for 4 hours or so.
No niggles or sniffles.
I have completed 40 miles in three days which is almost the distance of that ultra I should have been doing this weekend but the weather put paid to that:
Friday: 13 miles
Saturday: 12 miles
Sunday: 15 miles
Total = 40 miles.
Feel fine, I'm not in bits or carrying any niggles. Will rest tomorrow.
