This is day two of my final journey as I prepare for a 100-mile race in Wales at the end of June. The Epona 100!
Training Recap:
I did a 3.5 mile run with some folk at work. Nice jog round Battersea park.
Reflections:
Running with others definitely makes the time fly.
Fitness Progress:
Hill score 51
Four week elevation 7,491ft
Hill endurance: 45
Hill strength: 14
VO2 max: 47
Nutrition and Hydration:
Bagel, soup, chilli and rice, couple of coffees and whatever I have for tea!
Mental Preparation:
All I have to do is put one foot in front of the other on the race. Keep moving forward.
Gear Check:
I have a number of compression shorts. Some of them seem to ride up more than others. Even the same brand/type. I need to test and keep the good ones to one side.
Tips and Tricks:
Remember to apply anti-chafe to anything that might rub. Including back! On the morning of the race.
What tips do you have for races where you aren’t able to recce the route?
