Cheers Liz. And yep, the walking/running does take some getting used to without feeling bad about it! My arm is all better now and now idea how I did it – it was perhaps tweaked reaching back to close a gate or something but OMG it hurt! And I’ll be writing a post on why I think everyone should do an ultra at least once – it’s completely changed my relationship with running for the better. Happy trails!

This does take a little practice but means I could go a lot further and for longer.” was really useful. I’ve been told this a number of times but it hadn’t really “taken”. This definitely looks like one to try as it’s so well-organised and marked. I haven’t done one yet but the further I go the more I like it, and I enjoyed the end bits of my marathon more than the first half, so I think I need to do one at least!

I hope your shoulder feels better soon. How did you do the injury, during the race?
