Your drive to enter events which are horrifically hard and long and mad, knowing that you won't be able to run it all/much is genuinely inspirational. Keep it up, and keep posting about it!

Thanks, I appreciate that. Until I can get back to race weight (which is ultimately the goal of all this so I can properly run my next marathon again) I'm not really considering these proper races more just personal challenges I'm setting myself to keep me honest and provide something to train towards that I can't just phone in on the day.
Found out earlier I was the first one to sign up for Spitfire Scramble 2018. that #100 solo bib number better be mine! https://twitter.com/SpitScramble24/status/892698644868157441

one of the metrics is leg spring stiffness which may feed into that.
in other other news, I just entered the round reading ultra (50k distance) for this saturday. will try to get home under 9h as a flatter race preparedness test for surrey hills challenge. I did 27 miles just walking in 8.5 hours before spitfire so it's a pretty realistic goal and is a good way of getting more time on my feet without walking around a park on my own all day.
