Thats the taxi fares up again then

[Guest IB]

Started on 19th June at 10 miles and by 22nd July they had had 13 trainers out to 40 miles before going into their 1st race on 24th July at 63 miles. Did not drop any training, and have since dropped 2 over 3 races.

 

Feel lucky that I started training a lot earlier than usual, after a chance conversation with a clubmate: 'train now while weather is good, you've no idea what it will be like later'. Weather towards end of July wasn't great. I had 10/12 days off for training before the first race, but weather stopped me going most days.
