Running (Specific endurance) 5:37:00 [3] 26.1 mi (12:55 / mi) +2477m 9:58 / mi
slept:7.0 shoes: Salomon ultra 5
Champex-Chamonix
I felt fairly tired in the morning, but gradually felt stronger as the day went on. There were 3 or 4 of us who mainly stayed together at the front. It was a more civilised pace than yesterday, but by no means easy and early on I had to work quite hard to keep up on the climbs. There were times later on when I felt I could have pushed on ahead but it didn’t seem necessary. We had a couple of breaks and things were generally a bit more relaxed than previous days.
240g carb during the run.
I’m really happy with how these few days went and I don’t feel particularly beaten up now. I ran most of the descents really hard and my quads are fine. The only thing that feels tight are my calves, but it isn’t a big deal. The sections I found hardest (and struggled relative to the others) were the gentle, only just runnable (‘douche-grade’) climbs. But realistically during the race I’ll be hiking most of these.
