There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!
