    I'm upping my calorie intake quite a bit (1,700 extra calories to eat today :noway: ) but it includes more chicken, raw cashew nuts and bananas to help slowly release the energy :smile:

    I hope for your legs that you actually built up to that kind of mileage otherwise I suspect you'll be suffering some kind of over use injury by the end of the week. :frown:

    I've been running for a year now, and recently started building up my training for a 30k race at the end of March. In the last 3 days I've ran 27k, and my legs are letting me know. I'm not running tomorrow to recoup as I have another 25k to run before the end of the week.

    Good luck with your goal, but don't sacrifice your health for it. :smile:

    Thanks for the concern Ray. I regularly run 50 to 60k a week so this is something I've been building towards for a while (a personal goal). I must admit my legs are letting me know tonight which is why I did a bit more so I have less to do over the next two days hehe

    Well on track so to speak :laugh:
