Becoming an Ultra Runner | 021 | Marshall at the Brecon Ultra | Trail Events

After a busy few week of filming for the Caerphilly 10k and Ten-y-Fan, I somehow managed to squeeze in a morning of marshalling at The Trail Events Co's Brecon Ultra. 

This was supposed to be my first ultra (If you've been following the VLOG), but because of the knee injury, I couldn't compete. I decided to put my name forward as a volunteer as I wanted to be part of the event.

Today I get to see first hand what people are like 21k into the race, and it's definitely made me want to go back for the 2019 event.

After spending 8 weeks out with an IT band Injury, I'm back running and training again.

Trying to keep to the following schedule was tough:

Gym on Monday, 
Running Tuesday, 
Trail Thursday, 
Gym and Yoga Friday, 
Run Saturday
Long Run Sunday. 

Just because I now have a plan, doesn't mean that I don't have time to go off course for a bit.

Welcome to my VLOG about Becoming an Ultra Runner.

I'm building up from Half Marathon distance races to my first 50k ultra marathon and eventually up to 100 mile race distances.

The vlog will cover all aspects of my ultra marathon training, such as training plans, running, gear, diet, and fitting that all around my busy work life.

I want to complete one of these races before my 40th birthday:

- UTMB
- Western States
- Hardrock 100
