The treadmill challenge organised by Sweatshop and Nike was postponed from this month to sometime in feb, exact date is not known yet. I have decided to use this time to get some extra treadmill training in so last saturday I went to my gym and aimed to do a few hours work. Unfortunately I had chosen to use one of the treadmills in a section of the gym usually dedicated to training juniors (this was a quiet separate room so I could listen to my own music etc and not be distracted), this meant that the treadmills were set to do a maximum of 10 mins at a time which was incredibly frustrating and I couldn't cope with the constant stop and starting. It was impossible to get into a rhythm so after 2 and a half hours I called it a day. Next time I will make sure I can override the settings beforehand as I would like to do a 6hrs session and a 12hr session before my attempt to get used to running on the treadmill rather than outside, getting used to the pace I will hopefully be able to keep up for 24hrs will obviously be vital for the attempt.
In the meantime I have the 2nd Beacons race (www.beaconsultra.com) to look forward to on the 5th december. This race was great last year so am expecting it to be another enjoyable event
