I am Miss Amy and I teach maths here at Nexus in the secondary school and a son of you might know one of my hobbies is running. During my half-time break recently I took part in a race in Epo and it was an ultra sky marathon. So an ultra marathon is a race that is 50 kilometres or more and it's a sky run and that means that across the course there's an elevation of more than 2,000 metres. When I was trying to run up the hills, not a lot of the time you couldn't really get patches on the trail but some of the ways that I kept resilient was most of all having a positive mindset and making sure that I had to really get self-talk. There were so many moments across the race where I was passing people or people passing me was really important to offer each other encouragement and just to say how well I've almost done it. And making sure that I was kind to myself also, I rested at every rest stop, so every 10 kilometres I made sure I rehydrated, I had a snack and made sure that I was in the best shape I could be before I started again. Another way that I managed to stay resilient and persevere with the race was making sure that I didn't get overwhelmed with the big picture. 50 kilometres and that much elevation is a really daunting prospect and especially when it takes so long in such challenging circumstances it would have been really easy to get overwhelmed and think that I wouldn't be able to do it but I found it super helpful just to be breaking the race up into manageable chance. So I knew I just seemed to get to the top of this hill and then I was going to sit down and reward myself with so making sure that I broke down the challenge into manageable chance really helped me continue. Since COVID started that I would have to make sure I trained really well, I made sure my body was up to the challenge and so that meant a lot of early mornings out on the trails in KL. It meant lots of horrible conditioning runs that I didn't enjoy at the time but I knew it would help me in the long run and a lot of the time it meant I had to say no to certain things in other parts of my life because I knew that doing this was a priority so I had to make sure that I balanced my time and my commitments as well.
