'I remembered all the times I wondered what it would feel like to head up this hill with all that water under the bridge. More than 90 miles in the legs. Two days gone. Fatigue settled in like an appendage. I looked up and started walking. As you do.' Pt 6/7 madmaxruns.blogspot.com/2026/07/back...

We aren’t inspiring or otherwise to ourselves, we are bloody Joyful Warriors. The Watch Me Collective. I don’t think we sing about this enough, but by god, we should. It’s a Festival back here in this place of personal pride and all goers are forever welcome. madmaxruns.blogspot.com/2026/07/all-...

A week ago today, I woke up in Hardraw basking in the afterglow of finishing the @spinerace.bsky.social Challenger South the day before. I'd been trying to complete a 100 miler for nearly 7 years. Don't ever give up on your dreams - sometimes they really do come true. #relentlessforwardprogress

I've always been 'slow' pace-wise but over the past year I've been working hard on speed. My speed sessions are in the 8s and 9s now but I love to put the pedal down and see what comes out. This morning I saw a 6 in my stats for the first time ever and I have been grinning about it all day!! 😁

London Marathon today, was my first marathon 10 years ago. I still don't care about who wins or who runs the fastest. I'm here for those remembering loved ones, the nutters dressed like a pair of boobs to fundraise, the folks trying to best their own PBs. When the ordinary become extraordinary ❤️👏💪

It's a week tomorrow I returned to the #shropshireway80k to avenge last year's DNF. Not only did I finish for a 3rd time but I took home a massive 3 hr 33 min course PB. If that doesn't set my head up nicely for my return to @spinerace.bsky.social Challenger South in June, I am not sure what will? 💥

@clorroe.bsky.social I am loving the photos you caught of me before my @spinerace.bsky.social Challenger South attempt, but this one has by far captured the essence of it all. THIS Spine race? This one? Thank you so much. Having DNF'd at Hebden Hey I now have much #runfinishedbusiness for 2026 😜

My Spine Challenger South didn't go to plan at all and tapping out at Hebden Hey was absolutely gutwrenching, but the right decision. The same experience that gets you to big start lines is what also tells you when it's just not your day. I came to be a finisher, not a liability. Roll on 2026.

You know that feeling when you PB? How about when you PB a 20 mile trail race by 51 minutes? 🤯💪💥 It's now Wednesday and I'm still in total disbelief about my third go at the Hathersage Hurtle, last meaningful effort before @spinerace.bsky.social Challenger South in a few weeks. Head game activated!
