Great few weeks with the Hardmoors 55 ticked off and training going well. The 160 is only round the corner now with 9 weeks to go. So its full steam ahead, back to the training and focusing on getting more fat off the body weight to reduce by another 3kg. During the 55 my legs felt amazing as I was pushing on and trying to get as near to the 134 hour mark as possible. I rocked up at 13 and half hours which is definitely respectable as it was 1 and a half hours quicker than last year so I now know where I'm at which was the idea.
The plan now is to keep up good mileage and build a bit more strength physically and mentally. I need to start planning my mental strategy for the race providing insights to what tactics I'm going to use to get the job done! I'm going to attack it, and finish this beast.
I've started adding some pack training and weighted vest work to build more stamina in my legs and core. I also want to increase upper body strength and mid body strength. I've got back to my Dalby Forest training runs and feel like they are really benefiting with the long hills, I'm really loving these runs they make me feel like I'm really getting somewhere.
