Friday the 8th of January and it’s registration, kit check and briefing. This is done the day before the race as there is a lot of kit to check! Start of the Challenger. Flagstone path towards Bleaklow. Devil’s Dyke, calf pop #2. Exiles medics working to keep me in the race. Crap, that would put paid to the SWD50 in April. One of my A races for 2016...

Mumblings from the back of the pack. CCC – Winning a lottery by accident. September 2, 2015. May 2, 2016. What had I let myself in for? Well, I knew what I’d let myself in for; half a lap of the Mont Blanc massif. Yes, the big pointy one in the Alps with snow on the roof all year round, is what I’d let myself in for! Or 101km of stupidly big hills (6100m of ascent. 20000ft in old money). Either way you look at it, it wasn’t going to be pretty. Scenic, yes. Pretty? Look for this symbol on Ultra Marathons.

Mumblings from the back of the pack. More kit chat – La Sportiva Bushido and Salomon S-LAB EXO TwinSkin Shorts. October 26, 2015. May 2, 2016. It’s taken me forever to get around to this. The bit on my profile about spending days in front of a pc screen have never been truer of late. But then, that’s what allows me to buy this Gucci kit and go running in some of the finest bits of countryside there are. Got to take the rough with the smooth. It was the compression inner that was giving me concern. I coul...

Mumblings from the back of the pack. 2015 Centurion Running SDW 50. March 30, 2015. April 7, 2015. Courtesy of Centurion Running). Centurion mark the course the day before and then send a sweeper behind the last runner to clear up. After that those of us who live and train in the area tend to keep an eye out for any odd bits that were missed, especially on the stage that is cleared after dark. Anyway, whilst Chris was out on the course in Friday, I was resting hard. Paul, “What’s up? No matter, less than...

Mumblings from the back of the pack. Bits of Kit – Inov-8 RaceUltra goodies. June 26, 2015. Right, well firstly let’s take the bull by the horns and talk about shoes. What fits me might not fit you. I have a wide foot and find that I can’t run in Salomons. So that means I think Salomon shoes are crap right? Inov-8 RaceUltra 290 not so fresh from SDW100. It has to be up for consideration. It’s definitely my go-to shoe for the South Downs. The pack has a nice main load space, plenty of room for Lakeland or...
