Well, I did it: My first Ultra Marathon.
The furthest I had ever ran was 30km before that.
I skipped the marathon and went straight for 53.84km cause I knew it would be fun.
Type 2 fun right?
Very proud and still can't fully process or wrap my head around the fact that I did that.
The is by far my favorite race I've ran. The team, the volonteers, the energy, the supporters, the participants... a vibe like no others.
Thanks to Nicola and Matt for the company for the last bit. Sorry I shoot off but I just wanted to go home 😅🤣
It was a loooooong one but it felt very special getting to experience the sunset on Mt Vic and finishing with the head torch.

Week #15 summary
Hit my mileage goal of 55km this week with 4 runs.
A nice little 10km on Monday
Quick 5km Tuesday on Treadmill
Slow 15km on Thursday and,
Long 25km trail run on Saturday.
I am now painfully aware I need to take this seriously. Recovery is just as important as training and I cannot wing it anymore.
Next week is going to be brutal with 65km. Next week will be the start of a very slow incremental increase of weekly mileage to build resistance.
I'll keep smiling because deep down I love it.

Week 14 summary.
S**t week. Tired. Drained. But I stuck to the plan.
30km done in 3 sessions on treadmill.
🩸 hit on Saturday for the long run which I skipped. I feel bad and guilty about it but I know it was the right decision but it sucks...
Switched to an easy gym session today. Happy to see the hammies and calves are growing and feeling strong.
Even if I'm not perfectly hitting my training I'm doing it and it's working I can feel it.
New week tomorrow. Gotta hit that 55km. Can't turn back now.

✨️ WEEK 11 summary ✨️
Weakling week 😅 did 35km of a 45km goal...
Ngl, stuggled with the dark and cold nights.
✨️ Monday went well with 10km run by the bay, nice and flat. My watched fcked up again and didn't record it...
✨️ Thursday was a very long day at work and I was too lenient with myself so I ended up going on Friday for only half the distance I was due..
=> because late week runs have been difficult lately, I got myself a cityfitness membership again. Reluctantly... but there's no comparison when it comes to cost (vs buying a treadmill)
✨️ Saturday was my long run day with a gorgeous 21.35km in 3h30, and nice little 887m elevation gain.
Tip track and its 22% decline sections did a number on my knees but I'm all good. Tomorrow will be a flat 10 for sure 😅
Overall feeling pretty good. I think I need to be a bit tougher on myself to stick to my schedule and not skip runs. With the gym membership and access to a treadmill it should be much much easier.
Next week is a 50km week with my longest run ever scheduled for Saturday!
Can't wait!!!
