Need cardiac stress test, spirometry, urine test + medical exam.

Based in Clare/Limerick area, trying to avoid multiple appointments or an excursion to Dublin if possible. What's the most efficient way to sort this?

Thanks!

The atmosphere in Chamonix is unbelievable. Beginning on Monday evening when the PTL starts right up to Sunday evening when the last of the UTMB runners are coming in. The organisation is great and it's not really that expensive considering all that's involved.

Few things which ill change after doing the CCC last year

Chafing - didnt reapply body glide after 50k and could barely walk last 15k because of the stinging. Got my hands on some Bepanthen at the last aid station which helped.
Cushioned shoes - My Inov-8 trail roc 255 shoes were not cushioned enough in my opinion. Felt my blisters too much on the last rocky downhill. Will try Salomon Sense Mantra's this year

Things i wont change

Poles - essential IMHO
Food - eating normal food at the aid stations - noodle soup, oranges, pie etc. Only ate 4 gels.
Drink - Cola and lot's of it.

Anyone else signed up ?

Happy running
