Going all the way

Sarah has rationed Winst to talking about running for only 10 mins a day, so I'm going to make sure this only takes 1min to read.

Yesterday I went out for a long, long slop through a lot of mud and rain with the Uni H&H. The route would be a nice one in the summer. With a days worth of rain, on the other hand, it turns into a 40km ordeal. If there are bits of that map that look too straight to be believed it's because we were too deep under the mud for the satellites to pick up Alex Ho's GPS and my mind has blocked out the wiggly details.

Anyway - some lessons learnt by myself and others on the run. Don't expect to do 40km cross country in the rain without: -


  • 3+ gels
  • Water
  • Two sticking plasters
  • Suffering at some point
