    I ran 52mls last year. Not all in one go though.
    I spread it out over the year. One mile each week.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    52 miles is a serious distance, make sure you have fitted running shoes (by fitted I mean go to a proper running wear shop and have your running style analysed) to avoid blisters.

    Fufu has been running and training a long while. I'm pretty sure they are aware of what footwear and clothing is required! Its like teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs....

  • Thanks Louise!

    Yes funnily enough I didn’t decide to run 52miles off the bat, I did have my gait analysed and I have been wearing the trainers I wore to run the 52 miles for the past five years!

    Actually after the run I had no blisters and just a few moderately bruised toenails. I put the lack of blisters down to shelling out for a decent pair of Injinji socks as much as having a pair of fitted running shoes.
