Race to the Stones 2022

Packing for an Ultramarathon

June 18, 2021

The art of success for any event is preparation. An ultra is tough both physically and mentally; you train hard ready for race day. However the foundations of race day come from your packing. It is important not to leave your packing until last minute when you are getting ready for an Ultramarathon. With shorter … More Packing for an Ultramarathon

Over the last few months we have all struggled with a loss of motivation. So when I saw the #VRTTS virtual race to the stones 100k I knew this was a challenge I wanted to be part of.

The last minute marathon 

September 3, 2017

I think I should start this off by first saying, always respect the distance. No matter how many times you have run a marathon, this is a tough challenge. However, the more you do, the more you understand what your body is capable of. For the last year I have been using Phoenix Running events … More The last minute marathon
