I'm definitely not this creative, what's in the bowl? 😍

😍😍

I loved every minute, and am all booked and ready to rumble again in 2026 💪

My absolute pleasure! 🙏🙌

@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!

😳

🤣👏👏👏

David and Goliath!! 🤩

That's amazing, he's good!

The marathon, because it's harder to sustain that level of effort for that amount of time.

We're allowed stops at shops and pubs but they're few and far between and if your timing is off you're toast! I think my approach is going to have to be to find the very highest calorie content in every item I need and hope it works.

Thanks - I think my biggest problem is the weight of the food I carry, I've got T2 diabetes and never know what's going to happen so I expect I may carry more food than most largely out of paranoia! Still time to sort it but ugh 😅🫠

That is such a spectacular loop. Beautiful shots 😍

Never done that never never evereverever 🫣

I can't say there's anything more conflicting than a no regret DNF. I tested my Spine pack on the Shropshire Way 80k & had to cave at 50k as the weight was too punishing. I'm proud but irked & putting that pack on a diet imminently!! What are your weight reduction secrets my fellow #ultrarunners ?

I'm looking forward to following along, fab idea ❤️

Love this so much ❤️

You've collectively smashed this one. 🤣

That's a rather interesting design!

🤣🤣

Just when I thought I was done shopping for @spinerace.bsky.social kit, I have shopped for more kit. I may need an intervention, but at least I think I'll pass kit check now 🤣😅 After all it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it...

Brilliant thread, this is all very helpful 🙏

It so helps to visualise the personal power! 😎💪 I once hurt my tib ant tendon mid race so named that pain 'Shinjury' and chucked it in the boot. Eventually had to call it but I took great pleasure locking him up 🤣🤣🤣
