Thank you. If that was any time in the second half, I definitely didn’t feel strong 😂

Thanks! Hope you recover well. You can’t plan for injuries, you turned up and gave it your all I’m sure, that’s all you can do.

For sure, it’s amazing how quickly they disappear afterwards. I’ve already gone from ‘never again’ to ‘what’s next?’ 😂

Thanks. I make it by taking screenshots on Strava, making them black and white, then use a design app called GoDaddy Studio (I’m sure you could also use Canva or Photoshop) to layer and overlay.

Might be quicker ways, but this way only takes a couple minutes once you’ve done it a couple times.

I think they should be fine. Although the last two years have been dry on race day, both had plenty of rain in the lead up and both times the Speedgoats were fine. Plus I’ve worn them on wet/boggy runs on the moors, they’re surprisingly grippy. I just think I’d rather the comfort over 100miles.

Also, TNF Alta Mesa 500’s would be perfect for St Ives onwards, but crewing is only allowed at Lands end and Godrevy this year. Wouldn’t want to put them on for the technical Zennor section and Godrevy is after the tarmac through Hayle, so might not bother changing, unless I just need to mix it up

I’m scared to try Altras, mainly because I’m worried that if I like them, It’ll be hard to go back to others and I don’t like the idea of being tied to one zero-drop brand. Are they going to be your Arc race day shoe?

Nice, one day I’ll get around to trying some Inov8 shoes, I’ve been meaning to.

It’ll be the Speedgoats for the Arc. Worked great on the 50 and the 100 pre-DNF. Boggy sections they weren’t great, but there’s way more tarmac than bog, so comfort over grip for sure.

I also still have an old pair of Hoka Jaws, for the particularly boggy routes.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out

I’ve been on the precision fuel 30g carb gels for a while, think I’m gonna test out the SiS Beta fuels ones though, few people I know have been raving about them

It’s perfect for testing isn’t it, I think it’s time to upgrade my coat, it’s a few years old now and doesn’t keep me as dry as it once did. Definitely wouldn’t want to find that out on race day

At least you’ve got a nice view. The one in my gym is up against a blank wall 😅
