rather than a) force myself to do what I intended (and not enjoy it/risk injury) or b) write the whole thing off as a bad job, I simply treat it as an opportunity to practice my "ultra shuffle" - the sort of slow "terminal" pace that you get into towards the end of really long runs/days out - this is actually an art in itself, so any practice is welcome
I dont train, i just run as far as i feel like as fast as i want to, on days it suits, probably not doing me that good but life is stressful enough, I have realised i just like getting out and doing things in the hills, wether that be hiking, running or climbing
