Day 4...what's a day in the 10 in 10 like?

So what does a day look like on the Brathay 10 Marathons in 10 Days challenge ? Something like this..

• Alarm goes off at 6:30am, normally awake before then...
• Head down to the Athletes Kitchen and make some breakfast, Porridge , banana and raisins
• 7:15 pack bags and sort out racing kit for the day, such as change of clothes , kit, hats, sunglasses , sun cream (basically all the stuff you'd need to take to an event)
• 8am physio , just a general check over and flush out

• 8:45 meet in the Athletes room and get race kit on, sun cream, plasters, Vaseline (don't ask) 
• 9am general check in, last minute stuff and 'roll call' for runners

Room mate, myself, Richard Storr, Paul Brown and David Green

Athletes room for briefing

• 9:15am Briefing for the day, weather, roads, safety etc
• 9:30 race starts

• 13:15 pm finish
• 10 - 15 minutes on the spin bike to cool down
• Straight into rehab (deep tissue massage for 2 hours) and food
• 15:30  coffee and food to recover from Physio
• 16:00  back up to the lodge for shower, wash kit and change
• 17:30  sort out drinks bottles and recover drink for the next day, place into boxes which will be placed on route
• 18:30 evening meal
• 19:30 back to the lodge , write up blog and .............chill

As you can see, its full on, and we go again in the morning.

In summary todays run has gone well, but I am finding in increasingly hard in the sun, with another hot one forecast tomorrow. Really hoping it cools down soon, as it's having an impact on my ability to run as well as recovery, I'm from Manchester at the end of the day, I'm not a good hot weather runner. Whilst the run went well overall with another solid 3 hours 49 minutes time today, the physio was m most painful yet and I had to take a time out.....really took it out of me.Thanks I feel much better now and have the all clear to go again tomorrow, so lets do it!
