This is the first (of several I am sure) journals about my prep for the Ultra trail du Mont Blanc in August. Phase one of my training was supposed to lead up to Two Oceans. Everything went really well except that I was ill for the whole of last week. As a result I did not run TO. In fact I just got frustrated. I still have not quite figured out what was wrong. Even the doc could not tell me really…

Anyway now phase two of my training starts. I will start doing more trail and many more hills. But more of that in the next couple of days. Tomorrow I start running again and then build it up.

This certainly is an interesting journey.
