In June of last year I ran my first ultra-marathon distance race. I ran the inaugural ‘The Wall’ race, a 69-ish mile race from Carlisle to Gateshead alongside sections of Hadrian’s Wall. I completed the two day version of the race, surprising myself by being the first of the two-day ‘challengers’ to cross the finish line outside the Baltic art gallery.
This year I’m doing it all again, except this time I’m moving up to the ‘expert’ category and doing the whole thing in one go. I did the two-day event in a little over nine hours and I’m hoping to do the one-day in under twelve. To manage this I’m going to have to train for it. A lot.
