A Moment With Dave Gosling

Training CAPTAIN CYMRU

Name:   Dave Gosling

No. of Finishes:   1 (2017)

What I loved:

Completing a challenge that not many can say they have, The social running with clubs and friends and of course the finish line.

What was tough:

Everything past about day 16, the feeling of complete exhaustion and having to run again.

Top tips:

Start slow... use the low mileage days to ease into the challenge, slow steady pace (don’t burn yourself out)

Look after yourself... regular ice baths (daily towards the end) regular sports massages and plenty of hydration and sleep.

For me running with friends really helped especially the bigger runs. A few of the longer distances I ran with friends that I hadn’t seen for a while and by the time we had chatted and caught up on life the miles had just gone.

Best of luck to everyone competing this year especially those taking on the beast!! See you all on day 30
