Going loopy!

Led by Kate Frain

The redoubtable Dave and I attended our first ever Ultra event on Saturday which was organised by the awesome Resolute Running. Totally accessible (and wildly hilly) it was round a 5K loop and we could run as many (or as little) loops as we wished.

After I had led the warm up for everyone Dave (who is in training for a half iron man race) did 5 solid laps and I managed the full 10. It was a brilliant day and we'd both definitely recommend one of these events if you have never tried an Ultra before. I stopped pretty much every lap to get fuel and water on board - otherwise what's the point of running over 50k?!

All in all we were really chuffed with ourselves and with our lovely supporters too.

Thanks all!
