Last few days before the Grand to Grand Ultra!

  • Just a quick post to say that in just a few days time I will be doing my latest challenge.
  • I'll be running (or hobbling)
          169 miles across
            The Grand Canyon!
  •    
    The 'Grand to Grand Ultra'
    starts at an elevation of 5,344ft (1,629m) and finishes at 8,656ft (2,636m).
  • Like my previous challenges, this is a multi-stage event and by the end of
  • Day 1, I will have covered 30 miles with a 10kg rucksack on my bag (gulp!). 
  • There are six stages over seven days.
  • The long stage is 52 miles long and involves running through the night (which is apparently quite cold).

  • Due to all sorts of circumstances, such as ones mentioned in my last blog, along with my oldest son leaving home for University in Scotland two days ago, I have not done my usual amount of training. I have not trained with a backpack and I haven't had time to do any really long runs. This is not how I would have liked it, as training for me is all about recovering faster at the end.

    It doesn't mean I won't finish it, but not as well as I had hoped. However, it is still an adventure, and for me it is about having fun ...so, I'll catch up with you all when I am back.


    NB In the meantime you can email me during the race (although I can't reply).
