For my next big challenge I decided to run 5 marathons in 5 days... Unfortunately the lead up to this challenge has been less than ideal! First I had soft tissue damage in my left ankle when it swelled up after running long back-to-back runs. While resting from this injury I suffered an impact trauma to my right heel. This meant I hadn't really run at all in the 5 weeks leading up to this event with It's Grim Up North! Longest taper anyone?!
I then had a root canal done, which got infected, and the day before the event started I had to call 111 as I couldn't cope with the pain. The antibiotics I was taking weren't working so I was given a second lot of antibiotics and a lot of pain killers! I was not feeling like running a marathon. But this event meant a lot to me and I love pushing myself out of my comfort zone, so I arranged an early start with the team and set off early to see if I could run a marathon while feeling absolutely terrible and while in a lot of pain! This video tells the story of Day 1 of my 5 in 5 challenge.
