Is this a training log or food log? I'll be expecting you to collect your birthday present on Saturday morning and I've added another 'one' to make up for that xtra cream (and I'm not talking about candles)..

So that's the new plan....go for a 6 mile run then spend the rest of the afternoon with your feet up drinking tea and eating chocolate biscuits while watching a dvd of some other lads running.

Sounds like this ultrarunning lark is a doddle

ultraman1

one of the lads just said ultrarunnin is 90% mental and the other 10% is mental so i think ill give up trainin and just race:D....

woundedknee

Are you sure he didn't say Ultraman is 90% mental? Switch off the DVD and get back out for another few miles while you have the chance.
