- Welcome to my 50 mile training day video. I ran 5 lots of 10 miles all in one day. I won a free entry into the Peak District 50 mile ultramarathon that takes place on 29th July 2023 and I had less than a month to prepare. Today I take you along on one of my favourite ultramarathon training sessions. A spin on the usual single long run and at the start of the day I had no idea how far I’d go.
If you’d like to follow my progress on the day, here is the link to the tracker. It probably won’t be live till the morning of the race (7am start) I don’t have a race number yet but I’m sure you’ll find me as it’s a very small event (Rachel Davies is my full name, just incase there’s another Rachel)

Wow! I had this saved in my watch later videos as it looked like it will be good, and it was better than that. Great day of running and a good inspiration. Well done Rachel!
Hi Marc. Thanks for coming back to this video for a watch. I’ve no idea how I managed these runs so ‘easily’ but they were and I’m sure they played a big part in getting through race day more comfortably 😊
Catching up with your backlog, Rachel! I guess this incredible training day paid off! Congratulations again! Keep pushing!
Hi Paul. Thanks so much 😁 Yes, this training session gave me such a boost in not only fitness, but also in my confidence that I could complete the race.
I’m a bit behind catching up on videos too. Life has been extra hectic at the moment so I’ve missed a few from my favourite channels. I’m sure I’ll catch up 😊
Well done Rachel ,look forward to seeing the Peak District video👌
Thanks Roy. I’m looking forward to visiting somewhere completely new to me 😊
Brilliant! I will have to try this lap idea. I love your channel. I run alone like you and wouldn't have it any other way. I love the idea of running a bunch of miles with home base right at the start and finish! Love from Maine ❤
Hi Mary. I can’t remember the first time I ran this session but I wanted to create the ‘I don’t want to get going again feeling’ which seems to work. By covering the miles from home as well, it means everything is to hand at change overs. You can’t forget anything because it’s all at home if you need it. There is a lot of pleasure and freedom to be had by training on your own. I very much like being my own boss 😁
Maine…so you are at one end of the Appalachian Trail 😊
Great run, of course, but what an excellent attitude you have! Best wishes (no luck needed!) for the Ultra! 💪🥳
Thanks Alan. I think I just love being outside so much that it brings the best out in me. I was hoping for the heavy shower as I knew it would be fun to get soaked 😁 …good job really or I wouldn’t have run at all this month with the constant showers 😊
This is your year, Rachel. Your hard work is going to pay off although I am not sure if you are looking for a time or just to conquer the distance and enjoy yourself. I am not familiar with the Peak District though the name sounds ominous but I am certain you will handle it. You mentioned previously that had no idea of what the course looked like since you were the lucky winner of a lottery drawing. Hills, stiles and heat are going to be added minor impediments but you can handle any of them. You are in top form and focused. Enjoy yourself and watch out for those demonic white flowers. Looking forward to following your successful 50 miler.
Hi Donald. So the background to this race is that I’d been eyeing it up anyway, since last year. It had been pencilled in on my race calendar but I’d made no attempt to enter or train for it. I was ready to dismiss it but when the competition came up I thought why not. Then I won. I’ve never been to the Peak District but I watched the race organisers route description video last year so it’s not 100% foreign to me. I’m thinking very few stiles, hills yes, heat won’t be a problem as it’s forecast cool and maybe showers. Hoping there’s no hog weed but if I see any I’ll be sure to avoid it 😁
Oh, time wise, I never work to a time on these kind of races. That’s out of my hands on the hills. I’d like to say I’ll be taking it easy but I’m just too competitive with myself.
Excellent. Confidence achieved.
Thanks Nigel 😁
Fair play Rachel, madness, I couldn’t comprehend that sort of training run! You’re in great shape!
Thank Andy. Even though it’s me who’s running it, even I don’t comprehend it 😂 I’ve been amazed at how I was able to switch mileage so easily. There’s obviously a lot to be said from carrying over marathon aerobic fitness, even if that was a good few months ago. This time tomorrow I’ll be heading up to the start 😬
@@racheld1844 best of luck tomorrow!
@@TheFODRunner thanks Andy 😊
Omg! That's just crazy! I might have to give this a go one day. 😂 think x3 would be my best though. 👌 keep up the great content.
Thanks. It’s a good session but you can pick any distance and any repetition. I like to think is mimics the feeling of getting to an aid station exhausted and finding the will to get back out again and carry on 😁
Hi Rachael, just viewed your video and I think it’s great that you share what things you eat and drink to keep your energy levels and recovery levels up, as I’ve always said to other people in life stop searching for the gold you seek it’s within all of us and you without doubt have found yours, thank you for sharing, I wish CZcams had a gold star ⭐️ rating not just a thumbs up, your content always captures me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Edward, thanks so much. The gold star in the comments is the next best thing. When I run these kinds of distances (which isn’t very often 😁) I just eat to feel. If I feel hungry or I want something I’ll have it. I try and keep topped up but I don’t force anything as it could make things worse if my stomach is already complaining. I’m not someone who had a calorie/carb regimented regimen as I wouldn’t even know where to start.
I completely agree, the first person who can look after you the best is yourself 🙂
@@racheld1844 Thanks for the reply Rachael, I used to average 120 miles a week when I was younger, walking, jogging and cycling. My diet was a bowel of Kellogg’s sustain or Kellogg’s start for breakfast, for dinner 1 banana 2 pieces of toast with marmite, for tea I would have boil in the bag cod in sauce with potatoes, spinach , broccoli and carrots, I remember having regular catnaps for half an hour when possible and straight after work, I don’t know how I used to do it but I felt recharged after each nap, every now and again I would eat a lot of protein rich foods, I’ve never felt so good when I was able to do this and felt super human, watching your videos reminds me of those times, I still walk a lot and don’t drive a car anymore and still very careful with what I eat and when I eat it, I can relate to you Rachael your videos give me strength 😄
@@edwardshepherd9684 - that’s lovely to hear Edward. One big, big reason for making these videos, is so I have something to look back on. I may not have filmed the years previous to when I started the channel but I have a nice little collection of videos for my own memories to look back on. I think they will be so precious.
I can see myself being a walker in the future , when I’m no longer running, or maybe both as I don’t know when this running journey will end 🙂
Wow! Nice work Rachel. Your splits were awesome and this is definitely a good sign that you'll be capable of taking on your ultra. Usually going from the marathon to an ultra isn't that big of a leap and it sounds like you already have a solid base. I was always "interested" in an ultra but for me, it really doesn't fit into my best skill set. I'd dream of it, but after running 26.2 miles 27 times there really wasn't but once or twice where I felt I had anything left in me to go even further. I was happy to stop at 26.2 Enjoy your content and looking forward to see how you do in your big race.
Hi Eddie. I think a lot of runners who get to marathon distance wonder how on earth they could carry on past that 26 mile point. I remember how even the marathon seemed an impossible task. I’d been running for years before I took the leap. Then the thought of an ultra seemed crazy. If you asked me to run an extra mile on any of my road marathons I’d say no way. But heading out on the trails and running slower and realising it’s not the time that matters, it’s the distance, it makes it more possible. Walking is ok and eating as much food as I can stomach is completely different to going full felt on the roads. On both my 100 mile runs I got to 26 left to go and thought…oh not far now 😂
That's so amazing to run 50 miles and go to work as well! Fantastic!
Thank you. It was nice to go to work for a rest 😂
@@racheld1844 🤣
Great video Rachel. I love days when i just dream up mad sessions to test myself or get some confidence.
A couple of weeks ago I decided I would recreate my own back yard ultra just to see what I could do! Loved it and plan to do the real thing next year at some point.
Looking forward to your 50 mile race footage x
Hi Rachel. Wow, a back yard ultra that you set up yourself. I’m intrigued 😁 How far were your laps? How did it go? It’s still quite a new concept but I’ve seen more of these type of events popping up.
Yes! Creating your own adventures is so much fun. There are literally endless possibilities and choices. I’ve enjoyed many a random day out this way 😊
@@racheld1844 🤣recreating the aid station was the fun bit - a proper buffet laid out in my kitchen, Laps of 6.7k round my house - I’m sure the real thing will be more scenic! I struggled on to 10 laps - a good bench mark to build on I reckon. Watched a couple of these where they go on for days - I reckon you would be a contender Rachel 😁x
@@rachelhobson5725 - that sounded so much fun! Setting up your own pit stop is the best incentive to keep going. When I did my run I hadn’t really bought anything special in, I just raided the cupboards for anything I could find 😂 I wasn’t very well prepared. I’ve watched a couple of videos on the back yard ultras and yes, it’s crazy that they go on for so long. Days and days and days. One guy had to rebook his flight home because he had’t expected to be going that long. I’m not so bad for 1 day, maybe survive the night and following morning, after that I’m fit for nothing!
Well done on your 10 laps Rachel …and that it’s not put you off having another go 😁
Big session! Definitely just stick to mobility work for the last few days before the race, any strength sessions will be detrimental at this stage. Some hip opening exercises are always good!
Thanks Jess. I did do a light weights session last Thursday and it was ok, but can definitely feel I’ve lost some of the strength. I had planned to do it again this evening, but maybe you’ve just talked me out of it 😁
I saw your video on the light peak. This should have been where the 50 mile route went, but they’ve swapped us round to the dark peak this year. Not sure if you have a preference? As either side is new to me, I don’t mind 😁
@@racheld1844 Definitely no need to do structured strength work in the two weeks before an ultra, that's my profressional advice as a strength coach haha, but definitely do some gentle mobility work.
I'm much more familiar with the Dark Peak and looking at the website the Dark Peak half of the route is actually still about half in the white peak itself. However, they do have you going up and onto the Great Ridge as well as up Win Hill, so that middle section of the route will be tough. Definitely just take it easy on the big inclines, short steps and a consistent effort up Win Hill will serve you well.
The mountain forecast for Saturday is currently showing good visibility, so you'll have some incredible views.
@@AMostlyFunctionalJess - thanks Jess. I took your advice and decided to not do any more strength work 😁 I enjoyed a night off instead.
Yes, the elevation graph shows a big old climb maybe just after half way. It looks steep! That, and a big climb at the start too. I’ll be taking my poles and they’re always a big help. I’m looking forward to the views, just keeping my fingers crossed it stays dry….for at least some of it.
That's great mental toughness to achieve 50 miles plus work in a day. Fair play to you. Hope you have a great race and enjoy the day. Mind yourself.
Thanks so much James. Hope your training is going well? I’m looking forward to Saturday night after the race when I can put my feet up 😁 It’s been one intense month of training!
@racheld1844 Training at a standstill at the moment I'm afraid,life's troubles just get in the way sometimes, hopefully I'll be back out again sometime soon. You will certainly have earned a rest after this alright..... and a big bar of Chocolate. Hope all goes to plan ,you are a great inspiration to alot of people, mind yourself.
@@James_Denn - sorry to hear that training is on hold for a bit. Hope things smooth out a bit for you.
Chocolate is always on my weekly shopping list, but I’ll be eating the biggest bar I can find after this race 🙂
Blimey! I think it’s safe to say I think you will be fine! 😊
Thanks Phil. This would have been a peak session in a big block of a regular ultra training plan . To hit it head on so well I surprised myself 😊
@@racheld1844 Hope you have a great day on the trail. Fun first, time second :)
Wow, just wow. That takes massive mental strength to get out 5 times in a day Rachel, well done. Good luck for the PD50!
Thanks Richard. I think the key was to keep on moving, even when I was back I wasn’t really sat down (except for the post work one) That way, I didn’t have chance to think shall I shan’t I or I probably would have opted for the latter 😁
It definitely worked! It was nice to see all of the areas that I usually run around too, in the video.
Ah, so you’re local. Yes, lots of shots of the route I did. Some bits were a bit more disguised but it’s like…hmmm which bit is that 😁
Yep, in the same town. I recognised most of the shots - that was a hilly route that you chose!
Well done and good luck for the Ultra.
Thank you 😊
That`s a super impressive days training. Mentally and physically so difficult to keep starting and stopping again. Saying all that, I don`t think it was quite as impressive as your marathon in your garden, which was completely off the charts bonkers 😂😂😂😂 I need to watch that video again.
You are clearly in good shape to go and smash the Peak District race.
Thanks Darren. Yeah, I loved my stint of garden runs 😁 It made ‘good’ (🥴) use of all that free time I had. Crazy but not as crazy as just popping out for a 50 mile run as a first timer….and a new runner 😂 …not sure who told me that story 🤔
@@racheld1844 You probably heard about my 50 miler on Record Breakers or heard Steve Cram talking about me on television 😈.
You're an absolute bloody legend, I wish you all the luck you deserve for the run . 🏃♂️
Thanks so much John 😊
Well done !! You're blazing it .Keep going...🫵🫵👏👏👏
Hi Beverly, I thought I was going to really struggle with the jump in miles but it’s gone far better than I expected. Just a small matter of covering the same distance again, then it’s done 😁
Great running Rachel..i know you are in the same local area to me..if you ever need a 10mile hilly route locally there is a lovely route that takes you up to Beoley/ Holt end then up to Ullenhall (top of Gorcott hill) mixture of road and light trail...Good luck with Race 😊
Hi Gary. I hadn’t thought of heading that way. Ben, who I know via the channel and parkrun heads that way a bit also. Running up Carpenter’s Hill I think is the way you were thinking? I’ve done a couple of trail runs that way and remember how steep it was. Not been there in a while so maybe it’s time I switched it up a bit if I need some hills. Thanks for the suggestion 😁
@@racheld1844 It's close to Carpenters but opposite side of road past the pub up Moss lane onto Wapping hill climb which takes you to top of Ullenhall and Gorcott hill..you can also take a trail route that starts on North Moons moat going between factories and comes out on beautiful Countryside which takes you up to Ullenhall
@@garymanders1273 - ah, I know Moss Lane. I gave it another name…dead body Lane because it’s the perfect spot to hide a crime 😱 I think you then mean on to go through Skilts School?
Well done Rachel. I can't believe that anyone could run 30 miles, fit in a day's work and then go out to run another 20. Even if I were capable of running the first 30, my legs would have seized up and I am sure I couldn't get off the settee to start the final bit. I reckon all that extra fly protein must have helped though. Loved how you made the video so interesting, showing the breaks and refuelling. Sure you will have a great run, especially if you are only determined to finish and not worry about time. Enjoy it.
Thank you Peter. The amount of fly coughs I had on the canal were never ending 🤦🏻♀️ Hopefully up in the hills of the Peak District they’ll be all blown away. I think the biggest motivator for getting out was that I was making a video about it. I didn’t want half a video so thought every time I preferred to stop, then that wasn’t an option. It really did help. It also helped that, apart from once, I didn’t get more than a few minutes of off-time. Meant I couldn’t get too cosy doing nothing 🙂
Make it look so easy ,well done a super training day . Lots of rest now
Thanks 😊 As far as 50 miles go, I wouldn’t say easy, maybe comfortable but definitely in feet up mode and some relaxing evenings I think 😁
Wow Rachel this was hugely inspiring and really gave me food for thought when it comes back to marathon training and ultra training. Loved the near death by fly.... haha I am so sure we have all lived serval moments like this. Thank you for this and good luck smashing the peaks !!
Thanks Stephen. Race is all done, I completed the course yesterday 🙂 …and there were no flys anywhere as it was sooo windy 😂 Pretty glad really as even the sweets were hard to digest at the end.
@racheld1844 Epic 😃. Oh I can only imagine with the sweets. Did you manage to vlog it?
Yes, I filmed the run but it was hard to know what to film over 50 miles as my camera is only small and I felt I was rationing it so I could save the battery. Also, the more I got tired the more I wanted to enjoy the run and views and not worry about filming. But I’ll see what footage I have and what I can stick together 😁
@racheld1844 oh yeah I totally get that 🙏. Well done again ✅️
Wow, just wow Rachel. You are such an inspiration. Totally agree with your thoughts on racing alone, much better if you go with friends.
Hi Paul. For the ultra I’m happy to go to this one alone. Most people will be there on there own too, so it feels a bit less intimidating that I’m also there on by myself 😊
What a great way to train for the distance you'll be running on 29th Rachel 👍 You know you've got the 50 miles in your legs and as 5 x 10 miles it fitted well into your work life balance. Glad you didn't quite need a head torch at the end! My question is will you be doing the Peak District 50 miler in those well tried and tested New Balance Rebels or switching? If your feet were fine in them on this 5 x 10 miles then may be it could be a fitting last outing for them in the Peak District? All the best on 29th, you're going to love it I reckon! Regards. Graham👍😀🏃♂️
Hi Graham. I was pretty close to running that last part in the complete darkness. 10/20 mins later and I’d have been a bit stuck. Trainers are now on 996 so just one easy run tomorrow and they’ll be done. They were fine for the tarmac of the first 4 runs but I’d probably be better with a light trail shoe for the race. I have the new inov8 Parkclaw trainers I bought a few months ago that I’ll be wearing. Nearly all the route will be trail and with all the rain we keep getting, there might be some wetter patches. They are still brand new and unworn, but I just know they’ll be fine. They’re like a slipper, so comfortable. Seems like a very bad idea to do that, but I did it with their predecessors and I was fine…and with the new balance ones hitting their totals, it’ll be a new pair after the race. I don’t get new trainers often but it’s nice when I do 😊
OMG. What an effort. Well done and good luck. 2 weeks out I'll be tapering hard. Admirable.
Thanks Alan. It took a good while to get round to editing this one but since I did this run I can guarantee I’m enjoying some quality taper 😁
Well done Rachel, you are so strong. It's probably even harder to keep doing it throughout a day with work in between, even though there were no Peak District hills there. And you had hard tarmac surface a lot during your training. You will smash it on the day. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it. Look forward to watching it.
Hi Olga, thank you. I don’t mind long distances on the paths and roads. I do have some trails near by but they’re not that smooth a ride. Lots of gates and overgrown fields so I opted for a more easy option for the miles. Really looking forward to the flowing trails at the weekend though. I just hope it’s not too wet 😁
Nice one Rachel . Great effort and confidence builder for the ultra 👍💪
Hi Mark, thanks so much 😊
Crikey, that's a full day of training, and you made it look easy. That race won't know what's hit it! Best of luck 💪🏃♂️
Thanks Mark. This time last month I’m busy minding my own business, then 4 weeks later I’ve done a shed load of miles and about to make a 4 hour round trip and a 50m run, all in one day 😂
Really good confidence builder ahead of Sat. Wishing you well for that day. This training style reminded me of the backyard ultra format.
Hi Steve, thanks. Yeah, it’s a bit like that kind of format. You’ve probably gathered that I don’t mind the repetition of running, a backyard ultra would be perfect 🤩
(Did you send me a garmin request? I wasn’t sure if it was you or not. I just use garmin for those I know in real life but am thinking of setting up stava for marathon training in January 🙂)
@@racheld1844 yes it was me. I would like to share our running exploits. I have plotted a 4.167 mile route from my flat with the idea to see how it feels to run that on the hour every hour. Not sure when i will do it though. My wife thinks im nuts.😉
@@stevierunner - shame you don’t have a channel, that would be a great watch 😁 You’ll still have to let me know how it goes when you do!
A hugely impressive day, especially around your world schedule! You made it look relatively easy!
How did your legs feel the next day?
John was impressed with half orange juice and water and the jam butty, both Ron Hill specials. I (Dawn) love a jam butty and used the half orange and water with a pinch of salt in my early marathon training days. 😊
As for the shoes, I do agree you can run on a budget and don't need carbon shoes. Personally I like them but have non carbon shoes too and always buy shoes in sales.
Thank you 😊 surprisingly my legs were great after. I had one day off then did plenty of recovery miles and managed to build up to another week of just over 50 miles (not all at once this time 😂)
Having the orange juice is a really nice drink to take. The electrolyte tablets don’t have any extra energy so it’s nice the juice has some useful sweetness. Not thought of adding a pinch of Salt to it though.
The flat bread jam sandwich’s are good because they’re already flat haha. No need to worry they’ll get squished in my pack 😁
Well done Rachel - you’re going to smash it.
As you well know already, one foot in front of the other and get it done 💪🏼 🦶 🦶 🏃♀️
Thanks 😁 As long as I’m moving in the right direction and towards that finish line, and not getting lost, I’ll be happy 🤞
That is an absolutley incredible day of running Rachel! Huge kudos to you for packing all that in. Really superb! 👏👍 Great to see how you fuelled it too. You are going to do amazing in the peak district! Bring it on! 😎🤘
Hi Ben, thank you. Some training runs just seem to go better than planned and this one definitely did. Most of all I’m looking to running somewhere new. One thing running certainly does is it takes off to places I’ve not been before…and to run in what’s meant to be a beautiful part of the country, I can’t wait. It’s nice not knowing what I’ll see so that’ll help with distracting me from the distance 😁 They’ll be 100 mile runners amongst us. When I get to the finish they’ll be heading out on the other 50 mile section, I’ll be glad to finish.
Hope everything is coming together nicely for race too Ben! 😊
It's like watching a Goggins 4x4x48 challenge 💪
Thanks. I’ve never had a go at one of the time repetition challenges. I watched quite a few of them during lockdown and contemplated it, but opted for the ‘home marathon’ option instead 😁
@benjaminhodrien3556 - I remember watching that and thinking wow! Redditch is on This Messy Happy 😁
Amazing achievement! Very well done 👏
Hi Lyn, thanks. A long day, but mission accomplished 😊
That’s pretty hardcore !
Thanks William. It went far better than I thought it would 😁
Wow. Congratulations Rachel. What an incredible day of running. Very impressive.
Mileage aside, just doing these sessions takes mental toughness - you passed that test with flying colours. It's fair to say, you're more than ready for the ultra.
Regarding budgets, I don't ever log mileage of shoes but will always buy from sale section and always get massive mileage from each pair. 3p a mile is very impressive.
Good luck on 29th. I'm sure you'll be awesome.
Hi Colin, thank you. Miles on trainers is one of things 😂 Sometimes they don’t make it to 1k. If there’s excessive wear or damage then the go earlier. If there’s nothing visible then the 1k is the max.
I’ve nearly always found a good ‘inner strength’ to keep going or finish a challenge I set myself. I had failed to run at all on the day before this run. I just didn’t want to do it, even though everything had been set ready to go. But 24 hours later, I had that energy to get out and get that big session done. I knew if I put it off again, then I’d miss the window for getting the benefits.
Fantastic running in one day. I took a break from here but it's great to see you've went from strength to strength. Good luck in the Ultra and looking forward to see how it goes.
Hi Neil. Glad to see you back after your break. Yes, things have continued to grow not only for the channel but my running this year. It was nice to hit that 1k subscribers a few months back 😊
@@racheld1844 I bet the 1000 was nice. I hit 500 today. Yay😅
@@RunSensible - great news Neil…. Does that mean you’re going to be running in crocs to celebrate 🤣
Very impressive day of training and a great confidence boost for the race! You might not have been focusing on this distance recently but your ultra fitness is still there, and so is your mental toughness! Congrats for getting back out after work, I would have probably called it a day haha. Best of luck for this weekend, I hope the weather will be on your side and that you'll enjoy the experience :)
Thanks Chloe, I think it was the call of CZcams that was the biggest help in getting back out for those last 2 runs 😂 I could have probably done it but it makes a big difference knowing there’s more than one goal when it comes to making sure I finished.
Weather is still looking a bit mixed but I’m a bit unsure of how the temperature will feel. I have to decide if I’m going short sleeve or long. Never thought I’d have to make that decision at the end of July 🙄 I’m sure I’ll change my mind several times before Saturday 🙂
WOW, so inspiring! Keep up the great work!
Hi Erik. Thank you! 😁
Brilliant. No doubt you're ready for the ultra. The hills are just upwards flat bits 🤣 I'm looking forward to dot watching.
I like your thinking Paul 😁 The tracker is top notch. The route will be highlighted and it’ll pin point me in the exact location. I think it updates something like every 30s or so.
Amazing, well done 👏
Thanks so much Carolyne 😊
Great running Rachel, you made it look so easy
Thanks Chris. Stick me on some proper hills and it might be a different story 😁
Thank you so much for sharing! I def want to give it a go. just one q pls.
How long where your stop intervals? I always find it diff to stand up and run again if I stop for too long .
Thank u
@@Giovanni-vx8xl - Hi Giovanni, they varied between 1 hour and 3 hours rest. The long gap was when I was on a 2hr shift at work but was on my feet for the duration. I tend to rest a bit on the stops but also potter around so I don’t get too settled. The basic set I do is 4x 7 in a day with around a 1.5-2hr gap and my peak is usually 4x10 but I wanted to hit that extra 10 on this day. I still had to fit it in with my other commitments but if I hadn’t, I find a maximum of 2hours works best for me. Any longer and I’d lose the momentum of getting out again. Any combination works well with either distance/reps/rest time so if it’s a new idea for you, try say 4x 4or 5 miles or whatever you’re comfortable with. Your legs should feel slightly tired when you head out each time but not trashed. It’s finding the best combination that works best.
Hope you enjoy having a go at this 😀
@@racheld1844 thank you so much, highly appreciated.
Beast mode enabled
Rachel shuffle mode will also be engaged 😂
Oh wow 87km per week I just run 31km this week highest in a year at least
Hi Stuart. Any amount of running is brilliant 🤩
