So..... running

Hope the running is going well! I have a 15k very hilly trail race in Coniston on Saturday and a 10k road race the day after in Liverpool

I have not done consecutive races before but have done two in three days

I have found the key to avoiding injury is, of course, not doing too much too soon. I once increased my weekly mileage by about 20 and ended up with a few calf/achilles problems which required a little physio.

So far doing up to 60 miles a week and feel good. My ultimate goal is an ultra marathon in South Africa:
