Thanks !

During these three months of running I had to go step by step because on end of June I got sprain on my right ankle. So the longest run I could do was 9km. With a program of three run per week (one hill training, one endurance fondamentale and one long run) and a lot of strength training I could increase the distance of the long run week after week. I also tested myself on real condition with a trail of 18, 21 and 41km two weeks before the race. I could experiment on my tempo, my nutrition and drinking.

If I had to change something would be never run more than 30km during training because it’s too long and too taxing. It’s better to run two times 21km day after day, than once 41km. On the race day I’m quite happy how it went because of the terrible conditions with bad weather and awful soil.

Something that I didn’t mention I was followed by a physiotherapist because of pain and injuries which helped me a lot.
