Training has drifted away from 'the schedule' but I don't feel I need to be too anxious. I am convinced that with the addition of some extremely testing trails in terms of ascent that a shortfall in weekly mileage not will be detrimental.
I headed off yesterday with Guillaume toward Le Vacquerie to take on a 12km trail with 700m ascent; from my position today I see how tough it was as my calves are complaining and demanding an altered gait: I'm delighted to be suffering some and look forward to reaping the rewards of such labour.
