So this may seem a bit mad, but I did an Ultra after struggling on and off with my calf. I have been monitoring and managing my way very carefully towards this event on Saturday. Yes, I know its a bit silly to attempt something like this without training properly but I set a target and a realistic pace of about 8 hours for 50km, as you can see, it was a little longer and I came in slightly quicker. I walked the first 10km and settled into a "Ultra shuffle" @7mins/km pace where appropriate. I walked sand, downhills and steep ups. I kept the watch running so elapsed pace was 9mins/km whilst moving pace was 8:18/km. So I have just done my longest distance ever, an unofficial Ultra and raised a good few quid for charity at the same time. I didn't suffer any injuries/sickness on the day or afterwards so nutrition was good and buying a massage gun last week has really helped my recovery/conditioning.
