Finally back with some updates,
Although I was injured in November and December I know things have bounced back and as long as I look after my left leg I'll be fine, I hope!

Originally
for 2016 I had two big races planned, the Vartry 100 mile in March which I hoped to do
in sub24hours and then the Connemara 100 in August which I've wanted to
do since
I did my first 50km event in 2012.
Due
to my injury issues I've had to scale back my plans and now instead of
doing the Vartry 100mile its going to be the Vartry 50mile as I don't
feel I'd be anywhere
ready for the 100mile due to recent loss of fitness etc.
Last
year I took on the 50mile looped course and took it easy enough and
finished it in 10hours 10min (I was aiming for 10hours). This year I'm
again seeing it
as a training run but so far I have no time in mind.
Taking
on the Connemara 100 in August will be my second 100mile event and the
Connemara 100 thankfully this time is 100 road and hilly which will give
me plenty
of time to rest on the uphills. As strange as it may sound the flat
course last year at Thames Path I found difficult, the 75% trail route I
had to endure during it also really knocked the stuffing out
of me because I do 99% of my running on road
so I'm confident I can perform much better on a 100% road course.
