I run just over 16 miles on Saturday mornings. Every year I worry that age is going to fuck me over but for the last few weeks I'm in the 1hr50m to 1hr55m bracket. I take one gel with me and normally notice I smell of amonia towards the last couple of miles which means my body is burning protein as everything else has run out. I've entered a 33.6 mile ultra in North Yorkshire in September. Hopefully I'll be in a condition by then to be competitive but I'd be chuffed with an age trophy.

That's a great time Tayls at 48 (if your age is right). I gave up racing a few years ago but still go out for a 15km run every Sunday. Good luck with the Ultra run.
