This coming Feb. 26,2023, I will again try my luck to run from Km 0 in Luneta, Manila all the way to Palace in the Sky, Tagaytay. Crazy, yes—but this will serve as my LSD (Long Slow Distance) prior to my 100k Ultramarathon goal next year.
Hopefully this time, I will be spared of any injury at Km 7 and it won’t rain cats and dogs at Km 40. I also wish that someone charming will keep me company from Start to Finish.
Well, I guess some of our wishes might just come true! My running buddy is quite determined to run 60k with me. I am ecstatic yes, but having nagging reservations. She has yet to finish a Full Marathon but already eager to run an Ultra. Normally, it would take 6 months for a first-time ultramarathoner to train for 50k. We only have 4 months left. And we are aiming for 60k.
So at the moment, my mind is about to crack trying to make the perfect training plan for her. If this works out, then this second attempt will definitely be sweeter.
Care to join us? The more, the merrier!
