Me at the Peaks Skyrace, 2015 on the weekend
It was back in 2013 when I first started entering trail races. I decided that marathons were good fun (yes, you read that right), but I wanted to push myself with increasingly tougher terrains and route profiles.
Trail marathons I found were definitely my thing. I took to them straight away and noticed I was ‘reasonably’ good at them too.
All that summer, I found myself in the top 5 of events I entered, regardless of how little training I did. I never won any, but I had a couple of 2nd’s to my name and a 3rd place in one of the Hardmoors trail marathons. All evidence was pointing towards me being pretty big news…
