OK, so I've been training since the start of the year and thinking about this even longer but I needed to get two early holidays out of the way before really feeling that training had started and Friday was the day......
I've been carrying a niggling glute injury for weeks and it's not really improved during my time away so was a bit worried about running at all and making it worse. Started with little short run of 3 miles on Friday which felt comfortable and quick given the speed I plan to run Coast to Coast at. Today was my 2 hour run/walk and well it did not feel too bad afterall.
The glute aches with every step but stayed in one piece for the whole session (10 mins run/2 mins walk for 2 hours), the new lightweight rucksack that I plan to complete the challenge with was comfortable and carried gels, phone, waterproof, bottles well. Now I've refuelled - starting with chocolate milk (great post run recovery drink) and bathed I need to stretch otherwise tomorrow I'll not make it to my early client!
