Managed the first long run of 2019, 16 miles, 3500ft on the local trails. I wanted to recce the Wadsworth Trog but just couldn’t get out of bed after working the late shift, so didn’t have time.
A beautiful day tho, super frosty and the mud was frozen rock hard. Amazing winter skies before the head torch came out.
Also did it on an empty stomach, scoffing two gels as I went and felt surprisingly good for it. Either way, I feel a lot more relaxed about trying to run 20 miles/3500ft in a fortnight.
