  1. Ultramarathon runners train for months, sometimes years. But what happens when they don’t finish a race?

  3. Well damn you all, I gone and done it and it's all your fault, so there <sticks tounge out>

    Signed up today for my first ever running event and first ever marathon. So I better hope to it and start training and get time on feet and try to run something longer than a half marathon a few times over the next 10 months.

    Only target I will have is to finish in the time they set. I'm not going to have a PB to beat or age group to win etc. I'm there for fun and a wee dram.
