@tommyrunpt: One day, I’ll leave London and enjoy more of my training… 😅 For the last five years, I’ve tested myself in mountain ultras across the Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Alps 🇫🇷🇦🇹, Pyrenees 🇪🇸, and elsewhere, knowing that one day, I’d try and take on 100 miles. That day is coming… This summer, I’ll be running Evergreen Trail’s Devil’s Gulch 100 in the Eastern Cascades of Washington State. Hot, high altitude, relentless elevation gain… everything you’d want in a first 100 miler, right? Ultra running first captivated me long before I believed I could run further than a marathon. Watching the likes of Billy Yang and Wes Plate tell these stories in 2015-16 made me think, maybe one day. Then, Lockdown made me ask, why not now? Since then, I’ve tried to take my time. No rush. No shortcuts. Just years of exploring what I’m capable of - success, failure, injuries (shoutout to my UTMB dropout), and all the KMs clocked in between. Now, I’m finally gonna do it. And I couldn’t be more excited that it’s in North America, at a race that feels like it captures the soul of ultra running - small, humble, dirtbag mountain running at its best. I’ll be sharing the journey here and on the That’s Runnable podcast. If you’re in the area and want to join me at Devil’s Gulch for either the HM, 50miler or 100miler, go to the link in my bio to get a little discount. Wish me luck. I’mmo need some. #runtherunnable
