Post-parkrun to make it 20 miles for the morning. First 5M social with JF & AS with some off-road. (Edit: I transposed the pre- and post-parkrun descriptions previously!)

Coldham's Common parkrun, P007 for 4th time in a row here!

Pre-parkrun. Calves bit tetchy first thing but massaged away, not totally fresh though. (Edit: I transposed the pre- and post-parkrun descriptions previously!)

Rest day

Rest day. Can tell legs feel strangely done in, hopefully OK by tomorrow.

This didn't exactly go to plan, but hey, I made it. Was expecting more like 11hr than 13.25. Problem#1: found two .gpx files online which matched encouragingly. Turns out a high-speed railway and road have been built across that route since, necessitating additional km to divert and some slow beating through a wood to avoid a new precipitous cutting onto the road. Should have been more like 108km. Problem#2: totally underdid the hill training, so the last 30M were run on ruined quads at an excrutiatingly slow pace. Should have checked the elevation stats better! Watch down to 33% afterwards. Not bad, but suggests 24hr activity time a bit ambitious. Did have 1km beeps going though. Time incuded breaks, hassling around getting pilgrim's passport stamped, etc, didn't pause it.
