Thanks, I seem to be able to plod on for ages, just get into a rhythm and keep going whilst the mind wanders. I find it much easier than even thinking about some of your marathon exercise sessions.Half marathon! Great going!

To be fair, I haven't committed fully yet, but I am pushing things to see whether it would be possible. It will be interesting to find my limits and a few days in the sun to 'get used to the heat' may be in order. I hadn't run further than for a train for 20 years before lockdown closed the gym.Good luck with the ultra training
