Unfortuantely due to a recurrence of an old groin injury which comes back to haunt me and hinder my running for the next couple of days after long runs of an hour or more, I have taken the decision to pull out of the Ultramarathon this time around.
I could have gone ahead and walked most the way but ive walked 30 miles many times in my life and its not really the challenge i was hoping for...5-6 hours of running off road may have damaged it long term so its not worth the risk.
If you have been following my progress i apologise that it didnt have a positive end result and im not discounting trying to train for such an event again in the future.

Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you've had to pull out due to injury.
I hope all your other plans / training are going well.
Cheers,
