Time to go out and enjoy the last few weeks of summer!

Two weeks into my new training block and smashing out the 50k weeks. 

The nights are slowly starting to get darker and the temperature is dropping daily. It's time to get out and make the most of the sun, before the rain sets in for the winter.

This episode is a quick look at my Thursday session with Caerphilly runners exploring Rudry and Caerphilly Mountains.

Training:

This is my new standard week. I’ve put together a 7-day training plan that suits me down to the ground.  2 Strength Sessions, 4 Runs (one active recovery) and one day on the bike (another active recovery).

Trying to keep to the following schedule was tough, but I absolutely love every day and film these vlogs helps me stay on target:

Monday - Gym Legs Day, 
Tuesday - Running (Intervals) 
Wednesday - Bike (Active Recovery)
Thursday - Club Trail Running
Friday - Circuits or Bike
Saturday - Running (Active Recovery)
Sunday - Easy Long Runs

Welcome to my VLOG about Becoming an Ultra Runner.

I'm building up from Half Marathon distance races to my first 50k ultra marathon and eventually up to 100-mile race distances.

The vlog will cover all aspects of my ultramarathon training, such as training plans, running, gear, diet, and fitting that all around my busy work life.

I want to complete one of these races before my 40th birthday:

- UTMB
- Western States
- Hardrock 100
