On saturday I headed down to Poole to do the 8hr treadmill run in Esporta. There were 2 treadmills set up in the foyer so it meant that I had people running alongside me for the majority of the run. This was a great help to keep me going and meant I was not as bored as I thought I would be so thanks to everyone who came along and ran with me for a bit - mainly Esporta staff so thanks to Paul & co for help setting this up. It was a great help for my training and a massive boost to my confidence for the 24hr run. I managed about 54miles and felt pretty good afterwards, no aches and pains so hopefully the 24hr run will go well. I had one hour during which I felt pretty crap, hour 3- 4, but put my ipod on and got through it. I actually enjoyed it in parts which was a bonus.
We managed to raise £147 pounds for BHF on the day thanks to Esporta members and staff who donated.
I will be doing a 12hr run beforehand too and hope to keep the same pace. I'll most likely be doing it on 17th March in my local gym but will put it on my site when I am sure what date I am doing
