Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    Race weekend! Camping overnight beforehand. It should start raining at about 11 pm. Race will start at 9am. 25k / 16-ish miles with ~4000 feet of climbing, and it will be raining the whole time.

    I just picked up some goops for extra calories and a new rain shell. It packs up small so I can stuff it in my pack once I get too hot and accept my inevitable sogginess.

    It’s going to be an experience. I don’t have any other events planned for after this one, so we shall see if I can keep the training up.

      I camped and raced as well. Luckily the weather was perfect. The 8 hours 46 minutes of running through forest and heath were gorgeous. Great event – and I placed 11th in my distance (75km but actually more like 78).
