What a beautiful day for a 50km training run and our first ultramarathon attempt!
This morning, our amazing crew saw us off from from north west London to run the last 50km of the Capital Ring route - but it didn’t go entirely to plan...!
From the off, I wasn’t feeling great - my chest felt tight and really restricted, which eventually just developed into consistent and nonstop chest pain. At our first aid station at 25km, I decided I shouldn’t continue - but one of us had to become an ultra runner today!
Yuebi powered on by himself for another 10k before Chloe joined him for some reliable pacing support for the rest.
And with that: Yuebi did first distance over a marathon today with grit and positivity.
Huge thank you to Charlotte, Rebecca and Chloe for keeping us fed, watered, and cheerful throughout!
Next stop: the whole Capital Ring...!
