!I now have effectively only seven weeks left of training and I’m starting to really get excited. My kit list is slowly building with all the essentials: head torch, sleeping bag, anti-venom pump - yes you read correctly, anti venom pump. I hate spiders

run, partly through forgetting my watch and partly due to the fact that the training has starting to take its toll. I feel fully refreshed for doing a 14 miler last Saturday instead of 21 and really enjoyed my long run this weekend (22 miles

was particularly looking forward to given my performance on the steep in Devon. I was told to go under 1:30 (6:52 ave min mile) which was actually slightly quicker than my usual long run pace, but overall a good chance to really put my Devon demons behind me
