Virtually Running Nowhere

May 24, 2020May 24, 20203 Comments

The West Highland Way Race was my only race booked for 2020. I had been injured and needed something to keep me focused and to look forward to. I got the green light end of Jan to run the race from the physio, and by mid March I was starting to get close to pre- … Continue reading Virtually Running Nowhere

Race Director, The Tyndrum 24

August 30, 2019August 30, 2019Leave a comment

I do not enter that many races, partly because I have moved around lot the past 2 years so I rarely planned far ahead.

Highland Fling 2018 Race Reflections

April 30, 2018May 1, 20184 Comments

I had not intended to enter the 2018 Fling, with the West Highland Way race in the same year. Back in 2016 it took me 6 weeks to recover enough to even want to run again. I was scared I could not recover in time for the WHWrace, just 8 weeks later. Neil my Chief Crewman, … Continue reading Highland Fling 2018 Race Reflections

What stops women entering ultras?

April 16, 2018February 22, 20198 Comments

A couple months ago Robbie Britton caused a stir on the ultra-running facebook group with his article on Fast Running blog 'Should female runners get double lottery chances in male dominated races?' A lot of people, all of whom were ultra-runners and the majority of which were men, gave their opinion on both, why women were … Continue reading What stops women entering ultras?
