With the good weather finally arriving, probably for one day only, I decided to go for my long run today. I think it was around 14 miles. I headed up Telegraph valley and ran down the bottom of the Snowdon Ranger Path, and then turned right, I was now running the end of the Marathon course, so ran into Waunfawr, and started the gruelling ascent to Cefn Ddu. It is about 3 miles continuous up hill that I will encounter at mile 21 of the Marathon.
Now the clock really seems to be ticking with my training, today I had one of those moments that you see all to often on challenge documentaries, where you see the dawning realisation that I am going to have to run for 5+ hours to complete the marathon. I managed my Half Marathon in 2 hours 20 minutes, so I recon I can get round in just over, but maybe just under 5 hours. Shit, five hours of running!
If that wasn’t enough activity I went to Vivian with Dave this even and ran up the first five pitches of Sunchaser Wall, in the fashion it was first climbed, trying to out climb the rising shade as the sun starts to set. We made really good time to the top of the Dervish but surprisingly I was totally knackered, so we abseilled off. Anyway I hope I sleep well tonight.
