Story1: Prepping for UTMB Mont-Blanc

I have created my own personal running website: www.runnersnepal.com to document and share my running experiences and stories doing Ultra Marathons. Rather than posting in Facebook and other social media platforms, I felt it’s good to capture the stories in one central location that can be shared anytime will all contents. I/we would be also doing ‘Live Streaming’ for this race from Chamonix, France.

I will provide my running details in another story.

Only 7 more days to go to run ‘UTMB Mont-Blanc 100 Miles’ at Chamonix, France. This will be one hell of a race for me. Even though I have ran many Ultras with methodical training and strength workout, however this race will be mostly dependent on strength workout and mental. I haven’t have as much training I would like since last 3 months. So, this race would depend on my experience and strategy. I have a plan, I have a strategy…so I will stick by it. My goal is to have fun, make friends and finish the race.

Race preparation is going on. I have packed up most of the gears and supplements. It took me so much time. LOL. I do not want to miss any gears or supplements as it will bother me through the entire race :-). Need to pack up few items.
