Update on my trail marathon training. Three months in, three to go. Currently doing two 9 mile weekday runs and a long run of about 16 miles at the weekends. Going to slowly drop in a third weekday run, something a bit different like loops of my local park to keep it interesting. Also am aiming to do a self-timed half mara on the actual course in a month or so. Just as a kind of dress rehearsal to the hell that awaits. Did a first Park Run the other week which was really fun. Yesterday's long run was fuelled with two Snickers and a can of Coke. Switching to SIS/shot bloks soon probably.
