Ellen has provided a race update of her current training.
“On the 22 May I headed down to Exmoor for the last of my season’s trail runs, half marathon distance, before getting back on to some more serious cycle training the following weekend with the 3 day Tour of Wessex – which consisted in a fairly challenging 329 miles worth of hills, although amazingly enjoyable through stunning scenery in the south west of England. This time round I had more confidence in my ability to finish fast, so I started with the frontrunners and benefited from being able to avoid too much of a bottle neck on the very steep coastal paths. It also enabled me to judge my position more accurately, allowing me to finish third overall, as well as first lady – though I did not get two medals”
I am truly impressed with another great performance and think that Ellen does deserve a medal for third overall too, keep up the good results and please don’t enter the same races as me!
