After yesterday's battle at Chatelherault, I was planning an revisiting the sight of my misery to bury the chattering chimp! My compression gear had done it's job yesterday and I felt good when I got up. I made sure I had plenty of "fuel" on board and headed out into very blustery wind.
I met up with a group of friends and we worked our way round the course for two laps. One of my pals who is a very experience ultra runner completed the third lap with me. My legs were feeling heavy from the 15 miles yesterday so we practised the ultra run / walk method. This allows you to recover and go further. At least this time having someone with you who has used this on many long runs, the chimp was silenced!🙊 part of preparing for an ultra is getting your head right and today was a step towards my goal in that regard. I've still got many miles to put in over the next few and hopefully the chimp will get back in its cage!
Recovery is important so coffee, carrot cake with cream, a hot shower, tuna pasta and eggs washed down with orange juice coffee and chocolate. Now in my compression gear to speed up the recovery with my feet up. Oh and the rugby is just about to come on - happy days. Still have some chores to do including shopping and cooking dinner - just in case you thought I got away with murder at home!
