Lambley Viaduct this morning, beautiful as always.

Watching London Marathon today. Haven’t run it since doing it 38 times in the Flora 1000 Mile Challenge 20 years ago.

A 215 mile unsupported recce of the Southern Upland Way sandwiched between Agnew parkrun last weekend and Talkin Tarn parkrun today. Finally able to do some training. Now to dot watch at least 5 events.

Nice to be running ultras again, but thatwas hot and humid!

Rain, wind and a thunderstorm going up Gt Shunner Fell. Great fun before the Race Across Scotland. Ultra Great Britain

Time for another adventure and Race Across Scotland, 215 miles starts 6am on Saturday Ultra Great Britain x.com/UGB200/status/…

First trophy in my new Vet category. A cold and muddy Hardmoors 80.

The front of the Spine Race will be exciting to watch, but alas, I will be plodding along somewhere in the field with one goal - to finish! Montane Spine Race live.opentracking.co.uk/spinerace24/

The sun is out now, hoping it can work magic on the solid ice. Montane Spine Race has battered me but still going.

Many know Sharon Gayter as the long-time record-holder for Land’s End to John O’Groats. Here in Kirk Yetholm, she is a serial finisher of Britain’s Most Brutal race. Sharon completed the Summer Spine in '22 & '23 but hadn't finished a full Winter Spine until now. #spinerace 🧵

Her international pedigree showed as she went endured the Peaks, Dales, Pennines and Cheviots could throw her way. Undoubtedly, the combination of distance, exposure, personal and mental management combines to form a huge challenge for all of our athletes. #spinerace 🧵

She has had a tough experience this year, crossing the line with a black eye and described this year’s experience as one of the toughest she has ever done. Congratulations from the Montane Spine Race Team. #spinerace 🧵

I survived but the last night with 70 mph winds shredded my number. I thought this may be better than my battered face. I got the adventure I expected! Thanks to all involved Montane Spine Race

Run well Mark and enjoy the beautiful course.

Earned a cup of tea in this one, at least a 50 mile ultra per month for 12 months. Thanks for the challenge Cockbain events

30 years ago I was first lady in this race. Today I was first V60. Beautiful day out in the North York Moors. Thanks LETS RUN - Stokesley

Lyke Wake Race 40 miles of wet weather (Fylingdales had 113 mm rain according to BBC weather this morning). Wonderful to see old friend Gerry Orchard supporting at finish. When I ran 6 hr 33 in 1993 he ran 5 hr 31 min.

On our way to Scotland for another long adventure. The Race Across Scotland by Ultra Great Britain follows the beautiful and remote Southern Upland Way. Me running, Bill and Baxter crewing.

The Race Across Scotland was beautiful, best belt buckle ever for finishing. Rather tired now, 215 miles of mainly sunshine but a storm too Ultra Great Britain

After 91 hrs 54 mins I finished the Race Across Scotland, 215 miles. I it nearly 2am and I could only just hold this big belt buckle in one hand. 9th and oldest female to finish. Over 50% do not finish.
