Ambleside 50k
•
I signed up for the Ambleside 50k on January 1st, 2023, after seeing a poster advertising it on the corner where Borrans Road meets the A593. I wasn’t having the greatest of times, being mid mental health crisis and about to quit my job (which ultimately was the best decision…

Minster Way in a Day
•
The Minster Way in a Day 5:45 – Dinnington I can’t say I had the best night’s sleep, anxiety keeping me awake. The night before anything important has always been the worst time for me. I lie in bed contemplating whether I have done enough to succeed. Of course, this…
