Running 4:10:00 [3] 26.0 km (9:37 / km) +896m 8:12 / km
Dress rehearsal run with Bash and Coach Logan on the Bruce Trail from Caledon in a very hilly section. We committed to using poles the whole time and walking all the hills in practice for Leatherwood Ultra which is in 3 weeks. It was definitely a slower pace - as shown by the pack of hikers that were almost keeping pace with us (we had a few add-ons through the run). Bash assured me they were "advanced Bruce Trail hikers".
Coach Logan was a great motivator indeed - barking at us to keep moving every time we stopped for too long, such as a snack break or physiotherapy demo.
Awesome burger at Paradiso's afterwards.
