Marvellous Mimi

now I've done a few miles on a treadmill in my time, but can't even begin to think what it would be like to spend 7 days on one, but that is exactly what Mimi has just done in the process of setting a new world record, she beat the previous record of 395 miles early Saturday morning and after a few hours sleep went on to add a further 9 miles before the full 7 days were up, all that with a stress fracture in her foot!!, i had the privilege to watch first hand as i helped for 3 of the night during the attempt, it was truly inspirational stuff.

never really on the cards

100 miles is a long way, but it is even longer if you haven't trained properly for weeks, you calf is still causing problems and you haven't slept for a week, but i still turned up for the Ceasers Camp 100, i fully expected my calf to cause problems from the off but it was fine, which considering the hilly nature of the route was quite a surprise, what was even more of a surprise was that after 20 miles it still felt fine, 30 miles was a different story my lack of training was starting to show, my calf was begining to hurt and i was knackered, it was 30 miles further than i really expected and on that course it was a tough 30 miles.....
