Fackin' 'ell!
18 weeks off running due to rehab. I’m back. I’ve missed it.
Dodgy hamstrings lately. Last Friday, the first hilly run where they have felt OK and knee pain (low level at the moment) appears from nowhere. FFS!Ran fine on the flat today...

Entered my first Ultra Marathon in July 2021, 100 km Race To The Stones, 3 UTMB points towards MdS. I must be fucking mad.

Good luck anyway and rather puts my 2 or 3 Sprint Dua’s and a couple of 10k’s next year to shame!!

The double marathon on one day through the desert sounds a lot of fun! I think you need to enjoy your blisters' blisters having blisters. You get given a set of amount of water a day, and if you ask for more, Oliver Twist style, you get penalised.
My pricey new Hoka One shoes have started falling apart after less than 2 months’ use!
