UTS 50km - Snowdon Ultra marathon

This Saturday saw my first DNF....
The course along with the heat were a huge challenge pushing me physically and mentally to the edge and beyond. 
I'm pleased that I pushed myself as far as I could, covering just under 21mi and ascending 6890ft. 
Now time to rest, reflect and take stock ahead of Junes challenge....

Snowdon weekend

A two day trip to Snowdon this weekend. 
Saturday we completed an 11 mile hike taking in the Llanberis and Ranger routes. 
Sunday I laced up early to hike up and run down the Llanberis path - up and down in 2:25, even had the summit to myself! 

Ox 'n' Wood - 20 miler

ON 17th March I took on the Andover Trails Ox 'n' Wood 20 mile trail run. 
A simple event with a rolling start - turn up, grab a number, run 10 miles, turn around and run 10 miles back! 
Tough challenge with plenty of elevation and mud to match! 

Big Mud - 16 miler

On 25th Feb I took on the Big Mud 16 miler at Queen Elizabeth Park. 
16 miles, 2,293ft elevation (including 2 trips up and over Butser Hill), plenty of mud, bogs and fog later I collected my first medal of the year! 
The training continues...
 

Support my D-Day Challenge

In honour of our forefathers as well as current servicemen who have bravely fought to protect our way of life, I will be taking on the D-Day Challenge to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

The D-Day 44 Challenge commemorates the 1944 Allied invasion of occupied France. I will be heading to Normandy, to race across its picturesque beaches, finishing at the historic Pegasus Bridge on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2024.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

I’m taking on D-Day Challenge to help take vital strides towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
