#96 The Omen

I had plans in my calendar for my 100th marathon and then the NDW100 so the Omen really wasn't on the cards. A - I didn't want to get injured before completing marathon number 100 and B - I didn't want to see the North Downs Way route before running the 100 miler, I wanted... Continue Reading →

#111 Exodus

Exodus is a 100-mile ultramarathon across the Brecon Beacons. I found it as I was specifically looking for an event with a lot of ITRA points. Exodus had the maximum: 6, this meant that it was going to be difficult. Good, I signed up. I was thinking about it for over a month, finding additional... Continue Reading →

#105 Midnight Marathon

I decided to sign up for the Midnight Marathon with Second Wind Running in a spur of a moment... it's not a surprise when it comes to me. I didn't have anything planned after Centurion's NDW100 and everything that happened after that race was a tad spontaneous. It was Monday and my legs just about... Continue Reading →

#58 ZUK

There’s a whole story behind the Zimowy Ultramaraton Karkonoski (ZUK)… It’s a popular race that is difficult to get into. I was meant to be running it with Dorota in 2017, but I got in and she didn’t. Waiting until February when people drop out and some spaces become available wasn’t plausible at the time,...

#50 Bovington Marathon

Bovington Marathon 16th December 2017 To say that there was some anticipation prior to this race would be a massive understatement. Not only it’s a winter WSR race, so the last time I’d seen my WSR Family was in September, but it was also meant to be my 50th marathon. I was taking it really easy... Continue Reading →

#33 Cranleigh Trail Marathon

Cranleigh Trail Marathon was another local race that I was looking forward to. Unfortunately it was still a palava to get there from Godalming using public transport (aka via Guildford)… And that’s not a problem, if only I could have got there in time! I considered cycling but in the end Jamie said that he’d give... Continue Reading →

#32 The Ox

The Ox was my first ever marathon, back in May 2015, I have very fond memories from this race so I can't stay away and this year was my third go 😀 Driving to Wiltshire from Godalming on a Friday night is always fun, but to be fair it wasn’t too bad and we got... Continue Reading →

#31 The Fox

I have to say, I was beyond excited about this race. So excited, that I even briefly considered doing the ultra, instead of the marathon, but remained sane in the end and decided NOT to do the additional 18K! There was also an option to do a 21km, but the marathon is such a great... Continue Reading →

#30 Gdansk Marathon

The whole thing happened a little bit out of the blue. The race was sold out by the time I found out about it, but there were some additional tickets to be sold on the Friday before (the Marathon was on Sunday), therefore there was no guarantee that I was going to get in. My... Continue Reading →
