Well, one more post to give an idea of the varied training I am going through for the extreme marathon. I guess the posts have varied slightly from the main topic of this blog about my passion for conservation, but doing all these races also gives a great opportunity to see and experience new outdoor areas I probably would not have visited. One race series I did last summer, and have repeated this year is the 5 peaks trail running series in southern Ontario (http://www.5peaks.com/). They are an incredibly well organised series of trail races that have grown in poularity remarkably in the last two years. The courses are very challenging but a good fast trail run test.
