Two weeks before the Two Oceans Ultra I usually do a final long run. After last weeks 53 km training session, my plan for today was a 40+ km run, easy and smooth.

It went perfectly, the first 3 hours I ran in the fog, cooling me down wonderfully. For the last 1.25 h the sun came out, but it still was not too hot.
IMG_7207I feel extremely strong and I am very satisfied with this year’s training stragey. During 12 out of the last 14 weeks I did a 30+ km run once a week, including 2 marathon races and 2 ultra marathon training runs.

Now I’ll cut back and hope to stay healthy until race day.

11081003_10153717709734392_1136520743620185538_nI expect to have covered some 800 km from the 1st of Jan 2015 until race day.
