Not a great night sleep and felt quite restless. Woke up feeling grim and spent most of the morning shitting through the eye of a needle. Really upset stomach and cramping quite badly. Gave it an hour to see if it would improve but not much. Headed out at 9ish and a bit later than planned but a stunning day out there. Cold, gusty wind but really nice in the sun.

First hour was grim to be honest. Felt good on the climbs but every descent was disrupting my stomach and pretty uncomfortable. Ended up taking another 2 shits and started to feel a bit better. Probably as I was empty by then but at least could run uninterrupted for the second hour.

Second hour was good and felt in a much better flow. Uphills nice and steady and feeling good. Legs were moving well today and knee was fine today throughout. Feet certainly work harder in the Torrents vs the Speedgoats but fine enough for a shorter run.

Overall the intensity today was probably lacking a bit compared to a race specific effort but got it done despite feeling like death. Need to refuel now and get some fluids in.
