Helen Francis in North Wales Ultra 100k

Before the Run


Run Done

Overall Time 12:16:58 (2nd place and only woman in the run)

A beautiful run in North Wales today …I ran 50 k for the years I’ve lived and the next 50k for years I plan to live. Actually ran close to 106k in total due to some Navigation issues. Oh well got some extra elevation in to close to 2500 m today! First female and I think second overall by about 10-15 mins (I crossed line first but Gareth behind me started a bit later!)… waiting for official time but probably 12 hrs 15 mins ish!!! Loved the course but definitely glad I had my GPX map … would have been super lost with out it… Thanks for everyone’s support and of course my crew Heiko and my parents ( it was Dads birthday to day too). Thanks to the organizers and volunteers at OutFit Personal Fitness Ltd. And the sun shone all the way… NO RAIN!

Information
This event gives participants the opportunity to take in a runnable, beautiful route which follows the North Walian coastline between Prestatyn and Bangor. The 50km takes runners to the beach at West Shore, Llandudno, with 2700ft of ascent along the way. The 100km route involves 8000ft of ascent, and follows the entire Waymarked 'North Wales Path' - providing lots of variety in terms of terrain and grade. On both routes you can stretch your legs on large sections of flat coastal running, whilst also tackling the hills inland, without ever getting too high or deviating too far from the coast itself. You'll visit and pass famous landmarks such as the Great Orme, Conwy Castle, Aber Falls and Penrhyn Castle and there'll be plenty of feed stations and support along the way.

Liz Schweyer and Friends

 

Proud of my race today in the pouring rain but so nice to be there with friends and see familiar faces out on the course. At some points on the single track it got so slippery that I was sliding backwards instead of forwards. Still managed to finish with a smile on my face. I was definitely dancing with nature in today’s race

Should you move after a meal?

When we were kids, Mom always said to wait an hour after eating before going for a swim or else we’d get a cramp. In a similar vein, it seems like common sense for runners to wait after a meal before hitting the road, but do researchers agree? Part of the answer is in this new story: “This Is the Best Time to Exercise After a Meal for Optimal Blood Sugar Control, According to a New Study.” The data showed that exercising 15-30 minutes after a meal could limit a blood sugar level crash. A combination of aerobic and resistance training was most effective, but research showed that as little as two minutes of walking could make a positive impact. In fact, walking after a meal can help more than just your blood sugar. Walking for at least 10 minutes after eating has been known to lessen bloating symptoms. It can also promote blood flow to your brain and muscles, keeping you invigorated and avoiding a dreaded “food coma.”

THE AGELESS ATHLETE
April 24th 2024
BY MARTIN PARNELL AND MALC KENT

Chapter 8
Hockey Injury (Part 1 of 2)

“You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.”
- GEORGE BURNS, Comedian and Actor

Martin

The trip to Cuba had been amazing. However, I knew there were issues with my ankle. My first stop was Dr. Hanlon. How much damage had I caused with the hockey accident?

Bill told me that I had “over-extended ligaments” and that I had to stop any impact type exercises, I wasn’t looking forward to my meeting with Malc. On the Wednesday morning I went around to his place with a tale of woe. He listened to what I said and didn’t miss a beat. He told me that I had to use the “4 Pillars of Recovery” regime, i.e., ice/diclofenac/elliptical/swimming. The key was to maintain the other exercises and keep up the heart rate.

The plan was that if I was unable to run then I should make use of the gym and do other activities as an opportunity to improve my strength and other aspects of training. I have to admit that Malc’s plan made me think of what I do in my business: Finish the Race Attitude – set goals, overcome obstacles and achieve outstanding results. Fingers crossed.
