Merry, I concur. The powers of recovery of the human body are amazing. I couldn't feel the Fellsman in my legs when I ran the Marlborough Downs 33 yesterday, getting a PB in the process. This ultra running lark is a bit addictive, methinks!

A walk to the spice of life (Best kebab in manchester). 10 minute rest then a swift jog back home. Thats enough. Tomorrow 9 miles on the unloved surface with 1500ft of ascent
Trying to plod up hills every day slightly faster than the day before
A couple of 'awayday' runs this w/e en route to and from parents house.
Yesterday: c5 miles from Langsett Barn - reservoir path - up Cut Gate path, turn back after 20mins, across to North America farm then main track and woodland path back to reservoir road back to Car Park.
Today: despite being surrounded by the hills, an 11.5 mile low level flattish trail run around the Longdendale reservoirs & back to Hadfield (Dinting Road end) partially along the L. Trail.
4 miles... was supposed to be about 8 or 9 but jarred my knee early on and kept on getting twinges. No point risking it, there's always tomorrow.
Race no 3 in the DP summer series, "Washington Wasp" from near Langsett Barn (4.5m, ~300m). Very wet underfoot and a nice refreshing shower half way round to cool us down.
44m 23s = just under a minute quicker than last year.
