UTMB

Yesterday, when waiting for Umåker Trail to start, I overheard two guys talking about their experiences of running UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc). If not before, hearing that they had completed a 171 km race with more than 10,000 altitude meters, made me feel rather humble about the task ahead and acutely aware of my own inexperience. Similarly, reading “Running Beyond” both fascinates and deters me. But clearly, I am on a journey here and it will be very interesting to see where it takes me in a few years’ time.
