On Sunday 12th November, I embark on my next adventure. Joined by Mark Power and 300 other competitors from almost 50 countries, we will run across the Andes in the Racing the Planet: Patagonia 2017 race. A self-supported footrace covering 250km in 6 days. It’s a multi-day race which comprises of a marathon a day […]

With a dodgy stomach and little training, what better way to kick off your year than to jump head first into an ultra!! 50miles of tough terrain over Catalina island which is off the shore of So Cal. My little family came to support me and I was proud to have my biggest, little fan […]
