Wonderful effort. You are definitely an ultra runner. Fantastic cause too. I did my first ultra - Spire - in May. Also for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Probably the hottest day we’d had. I felt every step you took in the video. Good luck in the 70 miler. I’m in awe of you for taking it on. 👍❤️

Thanks mate I really appreciate that it was a brutal day with that heat and I’m definitely naturally more insulated for the cold. Well done on the spire the elevation on that was intense it put me off doing that one so I’m well impressed

Nice run mate . It’s amazing how the weather can change everything. We ran the Goring Gap in May all the training through the winter and a cold spring. Then the sun ☀️ came out 😅. So many people suffered so I feel your pain! Congratulations Ultra Runner 🏃🏻

Thanks mate yeah it really made me work for it but got there in the end - goring gap was the first choice for the May run but decided to go with the local one hope it went well

Bloody Awesome Effort mate! pushing through the mental strain, the physical hurt is a real credit. Favourite part is that extra motivation you have to jog across the finish line "What Pain?". You are hooked now, sure you will have many ultras under your belt, and will tackle them all differently after experiencing the first one.

I only found you after your last video and have been desperate for this since! Congratulations! I'm a heavyweight woman training for my first 50k and this was inspiring! I also love seeing kids cheering their parents, reminds me of being a child and how much I loved watching my parents ❤. Donation incoming for Hearing Dogs.

Thankyou that’s really appreciated I’ve got my 113km one on Saturday and the nerves have all kicked in again especially with the weather. You’ve 100% got this just keep ticking off the sessions don’t let any set backs get you down it’s a culmination of everything not individual days/weeks. And let me know how it goes massively rooting for you

Walking is more impressive especially when there’s cut offs doing one 5 times is some serious effort. I’m really not made for the heat as I’m finding out again this weekend
