Thanks Georg! Good idea, I'll check out some of those runs. I've thought about joining some running clubs, but haven't considered trail runs before. When you signed up for one, did you sign up for one a few months out and then start to train based off the run date as a 'deadline' of sorts, or did you join some sort of social running club that got you to the point when you were ready for the run?
Haha small world - sorry to hear that it was stolen!
I consciously looked for a trail run in a couple of months so I started training for it. Lot's of trial and error. I overtrained massively in the beginning leading to a small fracture in the foot and exhausted body. Still made the race but struggled. I returned 6 mt later and this time was more careful and it worked much better! Good luck!
Excellent insights in this blog, Jordan. A lot of it resonates!
On exercise - have a look at trail runs in your area. Signing up to one (and later an Ultramarathon) was fun & transformed my exercise habits.
PS I had the same guitar! (before it was robbed from my house)

Thanks for sharing, I'll look into it! Glad you were able to get it going.
