Swiss timing precision… …on the second. 🤗

16 weeks of training in the books. One week of tapering left. It is becoming real. Still feels kind scary to attempt the challenge next weekend.

Also a little bit sad, that the block is over. I really enjoyed the “training consistency” (planing and doing the work).

Took Mtn Racers on a steep, rocky trail, I’ve become a Vibram Megagrip believer. The compound grips better than anything I’ve had before, Altras always slip-slide there. Also nicely cushioned forefoot. #trailrunning

Would it be crazy to get some cheap waterproof trousers and turn them into waterproof shorts? Got a(nother) silly long race on Sat, really don't want to run in long waterproof troursers but don't fancy 5 hours in wet pants 😬

I failed to put a man in the summit on today's run. The last kilometre was blocked by horses, cows and sheep. Might have been able to pass alone but with a mutt and that we had to return the same way, wouldn't have been wise. So here's a picture of Pic du Midi instead. It went from running in clag and only being able to see about 50m around you, to clear views of the stunning Pyrenees around us, that you just had to stop and take in.

Today's RAAAD was a blast of the 80's Curiousity killed the Cat and Prefab Sprouts.

Trail cutting from left to right across grassy mountain side with clouds coming in from below on the left. In the distance background to the right you can see still snow capped mountains ( on of them is pic du Midi) my running stats imposed on the top

Gear check and packing day 🥳

For mozart 100 on Saturday in Austria 🇦🇹. I think I’m covered. I will bring mandatory gear (ofc) and extras such as waterproof overpants, long legged trousers, second layer top, extra headlamp, extra water bottles … and my super lightweight wind proof jacket (next to my waterproof jacket, which is mandatory).

It will be a bit heavy… but that’s how these things goes. Better be prepared 😇

And of course my hiking poles 😎

First run after the heat got to me, started well until I got an update from HQ.

A group of walkers and their seven dogs were heading out my way. Which normal isn't too bad a thing. Just need to plan a bit as Paddy is an anxious mutt and is still learning the world.

But when lass said that the dogs were rough housing their play, biting aggressively, going for the other dogs throats and shaking, growling etc. All the while the owners just stood around nattering, and now and again would turn and shout or throw the lead at them to try to split a fight up halfheartedly.

I pulled off the main route on a wee hillside where I could see the other paths and where these walkers would be coming from. Even from a distance you could hear the dogs and when I saw the play, the first thought wasn't "ah how nice a time these mutts are having". Everything just said these mutts aren't in control of their owners, we need to find an alternative route back.

Lucky this area has plenty of options, though as I looped around them, they doubled back, and were coming down the hill towards us, but we were ahead and going faster.

I don't mind off lead dogs, especially when that comes along with a solid recall and good behaviour. Even I who love and trust dogs (often more than humans), worked with dogs and have had dogs around me for so long, would have been a bit worried, on my guard, while walking pass them.

And the "saying" - it's ok, it is friendly" doesn't cut the mustard. What if the dog your mutt is running towards is scared, because it's been attacked before, or the person is scared or is allergic, or not too stable on their legs, having a fur ball running at you at full pelt suprising you, could make you stumble and then fall even without contact.

So please keep your mutt on lead, especially when your recall ain't solid, when other people/mutts are around who doesn't know your dog.

Annwhoo it was good to be out after a few days off, 5km in total in over an hour, though the first 3km was much faster than I was expecting, I thought I would be more out of shape, it was good to have the 15min break in the middle to rest (while I replanned and checked on the other mutts). oh and sorry for the rant.

Is it just my dog that lays like it has been thrown against a wall when it sleeps?😂 In other news, I did a pleasant 8 mile trail run last night. Nice and steady, just trying not to get more injured ahead of the Hampshire Hoppit marathon in 11 days time. #trailrunning #dogsofmastodon

A chocolate Labrador lays on a beige coloured tiled floor. His back half is on his back with his feet straight up in the air, and his front half is lying on its side. It surely cannot be comfortable.

I'm back! (Tentatively)

Knee pain turned out to be a small tear at the lower attachment point of my ITB. The only remedy is to rest (which I did) and to build up more strength in all muscles around it (which I'm doing).

I've been riding my MTB in stead of running, but from now on I can run again, without exaggeration.
