"Failure" isn't an outcome I associate with running; it's about either achieving your goals or gaining valuable lessons that help you grow. My journey has been one of continuous development, starting with my Bob Graham round in 2016, which ignited my passion for ultra mountain running, leading to breaking the Lake District 24-hour record and winning the Lakeland100.

The experience of exploring the mountains and the journey that unfolds motivates me each day. I firmly believe that consistent hard work and dedication to training are essential for long-term progress, and I dislike the notion of "training hacks."

It's about constructing your training foundation gradually, knowing that when it's time to face a challenge, you've prepared yourself thoroughly. I advocate for nurturing both the mind and body because in ultra running, physical readiness is just part of the equation. It's crucial to expand your mindset, understand your potential, and recognize what it takes to achieve your goals. Additionally, I aim to equip you with strategies for race day to enhance your performance.
