Nah just a steady plod. It’s about 70% new routes to me, so with my history of nav there’ll be a LOT of doubling back and trying to work out where I am!
Also just planned it off Outdoor Active, OS maps, Strava and Garmin. So could be on some terrible roads/trails! 
It will be my longest since winter 2019 though. 
“Just a steady plod”
@Doonhamer I’ll raise you to 55km
Didn’t die
19 1/2 hours this week.
17 hours of cycling
2 1/2 of swimming.
Back feels almost there so running this week
Hmm, full fat coke and still smiling, barely 25k in 
@jeffb the trails man knows. 
It was 27kms in
Should we be getting worried he hasn’t appeared on Strava yet 
it’s going to be dark soon!
Green screen lol
Oh boy. My enthusiasm is going to get me in trouble one of these days! Brain was cashing cheques that rhe body could barely pay - and that was dipping heavily into the savings.
Was originally thinking about doing one of our usual 50km loops. But then figured it’d been ages since I had a bit of adventure. So I looked at places I could get to on a train or bus and split a route back.
In my head 70km was barely more than 50, so it would be fine. Not really thinking that it’s actually 40% more!
Still. It was a fun day out. Some beautiful scenery but deffo too many roads. They’ve annihilated my legs and my feet aren’t doinguxh better. Think my Peg trails may have seen theirast day of action!
Wait, what??? You ran to TAUNTON 
This. Explain yourself. Isnt that in the next county or some shit?
Plus its hot as balls out there. I did a spot of gardening. 20 mins Im sweating and thinking of giving up.
You set off at 4pm on an 8hr jog?
How did you get back???
Aren’t you tired!
You ran TO Taunton ? That’s a worlds first, it’s definitely a Turd Town 
Bet you were still quicker than driving on the M5 though 
Amazing effort. 
No I got the train to Taunton and ran home. Was looking for somewhere I could bus/train to and that fit the bill. Off work today with the kids. Got in a scrape before midnight which was my very optimistic plan.
Hit a 50km pb on the run with a 5.29.
Taunton and Honiton - both absolute dumps. But some absolutely gorgeous little villages and big farmhouses and manors and the like in between, through the Blackdown Hills.
Throat is absolutely killing. Will need to get on top of that.
Energy systems/general feel is weirdly OK, despite a terrible sleep.
Feet are battered. Peg trails have over 800kms on them now.
Legs are pretty tired but not too bad.
And you still got up before me insane
Looks like fruity was closest and still 15k out!
My pegs have about 900k on them and definitely ready for the bin but have had a good life, first used them at CCC.
Edit, that was some adventure, photos look great and a lovely sunset 
Dartmoor in a Day for you next ?
Easy 69min 12km jog for me
I thought the Cotswolds were flat?
Nowt but bloody hills 
215m straight up a damn cliff. Again.
Attacked by the undergrowth. Legs are shredded.
Time for a nice walk now 
Man up and be like bongo 
I met Wheezy for two crap coffees at Loomies. Hardcore
No. I’ve got this 70.3 in Sept that I’ll just pootle around.
I need some more hills and some more 3+ hr runs though before North Coast that’s for sure. It was a bit of a sobering, but timely run.
