ULTRA, the name of this place is very apt. ULTRA is defined as going beyond what is usual or ordinary; excessive; extreme. The people who train here definitely push themselves to go beyond their limits, breaking personal records, and preparing themselves for future competitions or just to stay fit and healthy.

No penalty for today as I was able to do my 10k run in my village. Coach said easy run at 6:30 pace. I did 10k in 59:14.90, with my first lap at 29:33.26 and my return lap at 29.41.64. Not bad. It was faster than I was supposed to do, but it was at an easy and comfortable pace.

I have 2 DNFs under my belt and one poor performance. I think I have to rethink my strategy and get serious about training again. Starting this week, I’m getting serious about my training. I’m penalizing myself P500 for every missed run. Hopefully, that will be enough motivation for me.
