March Update

        I just thought I would give you a little update. So before Christmas I decided that I wanted to make  a better impact into fell and ultra running this year by stepping up my training. So far this has gone completely the opposite way.

       I have struggled with my knees, due to the them not aligning properly when I bend my legs. This has lead to my right knee swelling up after I run. So I have been taking it steady and resting, a lot more than I would like.

        Therefore I am not hitting the training targets I expected which is disappointing. On the plus side my knees are getting stronger, at a very slow pace. And I also have a bit more time to go to all my friends 30th birthday parties. Whoop!

      This has meant that I have decided not to do the Hardmans 55, as I feel I am not fit or ready enough to do that distance. Instead I am going to work towards doing the Brecon Beacons in May which is 40 miles which is apart of the run further series.

      In the mean time, I am taking a lot of inspiration from my Brother Anthony, Tracey and Nick. So please check their blog's out on the right hand side.
