I would be interested to know if anyone is planning on doing any running races soon, during the challenge? I got an email from a very old friend who puts on races in the Palm Springs area, and he has a flat and fast 5k coming up on the 20th. I really would like to do it, but I have all these notions in my head that it might screw up my challenge performance! But nothing ventured, nothing gained, and before this all started, I said I would be happy with 60(not anymore). Can I run myself through recovery after blasting a 5k, I'm beginning to think so...Already did on Saturday, and if I can run the day after 6hrs on a 215m track you can run after a 5k - I haven't actually taken a day off since the race, though tomorrow may be interesting as my new physio just introduced my calves to dry needling this evening. Yowza.
Have a 3hr trail race on the 19th - plan is same as last year, to wait an hour after I finish then go out for a couple more loops with the 6hr runners to get a double in.
Not sure how the snowshoe race in February will go, though -it's only 7km but we haven't had snow that lasted more than a couple of days yet, so training hasn't been a thing.
