This was my second official ultra but I've run a few for '''fun''' and crewed a mate so gone over the distance a few times. The South Downs is pretty hilly, 5500 ft of elevation!! Legs feeling it today - bring on the footy!

**** the bed that hurt. Shouldn't leave it so long between runs. Struggled with breathing and struggled to get into a good rythym

It was good tho...I ran out on the beach across to a place called Hilbre island... Where I chilled out for a little bit taking in the views and getting some fresh air into my lungs before the run back

I really need to sort myself out tho. Need more exercise, better diet and to cut down drinking and smoking

Hopefully some nice person can tidy this up as on phone. 4.5 km around Croyde. Should offset some if the beer and junk food consumed this weekend.

Starting reading up on the afterburn effect - anyone know much about it? Does it work?

In a nutshell for those who don't know, you work out in fast, short bursts and the idea is your body burns more calories etc post workout than if you were to do standard cardio/weights.
