Rain - The Cult

The horizontal rain that hit Cardiff today certainly curtailed any notion of getting back out onto the Cardiff ULTRA course. Even the beauty of the Taff Trail couldn't tempt either of us out to run. It wasn't until late afternoon that I finally ventured out for a quick 10km.

Sorry, I hear you say, a quick 10km? What the hell is going on?

Well it's all part of my new regime into getting ultrafit for the 2011 Marathon des Sables which is just 8 weeks away... today!

My feedback so far is, that it's working well and the weekly hill climbs and added distance runs are making a huge difference. It will be interesting to see what happens this week on the lead up to The London ULTRA as time is limited and there's the Barry 40 two weeks today.

More tomorrow from London...
