Millennium Way recce run #2

[jaybrass73]

So another 17 miler across the field section in prep for the real event in seven weeks😳 Hard going today with 9 miles of boggy, very wet fields and country lanes - felt like I’d run a marathon by the time I’d finished but shaved 30 mins off my last attempt and got a new Half PB (on really challenging terrain) - could’ve just done with a hill or two!!

Sounds like a really great run! And another 7 weeks to just get better and better! 👍💪

41 miles? I take my hat off to you! Good luck with your training.👍🙂

Thank you! You know that feeling when you’ve bitten off more than you can chew....?!

...er yes...but for me it was just signing up for a second half marathon! 41 miles is bonkers - go for it!!🙂

Well done 💪😃👍. Sounds exhausting. Running on mud is heavy effort and makes the legs and upper body very tired I can’t imagine running a marathon in such circs. Hats off to you 🙂👊✊

You’re not wrong, I felt like I’d done a core workout for about 3 hours and run a full 26.2!
