10 weeks to London to Brighton Ultra

Its been a few weeks since my last post, I know I said I would blog every week, but I just cant do it with work and training. So I think once a fortnight is going to be the best that I will manage. Since the last post, our long runs have gone well and Paula has made real progress. This week she officially became an Ultra runner after a 30 miler...... Im having no issues with kit, having been the the trials with socks, food, shoes and shorts, I've finally found what suits me.  Paula on the other hand is just starting her Ultra running journey and is trying food on the run for the first time and new socks, shoes and sports bras(which thankfully I never had to  deal with, because is causing her a few problems).

Talking about kit, at the moment my shoes of choice for Fire and Ice will be the same as I used for MDS, Inov 8 trailroc 255

Heres the technical info:

The 255 offers a high performance trail shoe with protection for the developing trail runner. inov-8's groundbreaking Tri-C™ compound outsole of three different rubbers offers industry leading grip and durability, while a third generation Meta-Shank™ ensures natural movement with rock protection. Choose this shoe for a protective, natural trail running experience.
