comrades2019

A look at my 2019 in review. Running, business, and personal adventures. Including the London Marathon, Comrades, Wicked, parkrun, and lots of tasty food.

A race guide/report for the 2019 Comrades Marathon (the worlds most famous ultramarathon - 87km from Durban to Pietermaritzburg) and an overview of the area - the people, the place, and things to do.

Photos tell stories. The day I found my physical and mental limits and ran through them. #comrades #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon #comradesmarathon2019 #theultimatehumanrace #ultrarunning #ultrarunner #running #instarunners #instarun #runhappy #runnersofinstagram #runner #runchat #runninglife #runn

The @comradesmarathon wall of honour. Quite a mesmerising place. I genuinely don’t remember running past this fairly obvious wall :P #running #comrades #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon2019 #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #southafrica

@comradesmarathon 2019. What an absolute pleasure - Africa’s hardest marathon followed by another and a bit. 8:30:27. #ultrarunning #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon2019 #running

It’s a bit shit but I think silver at @comradesmarathon might be a step too far. I was always going to push my #running until something humbled me and I think that time may be now. I’m still gonna try though. #comrades #comrades2019 ##comradessilver

Forgot to post these from the Village Bakery Half a couple of weeks ago. #running #training #halfmarathon #pb #comrades2019 #tomrades

Until today I had never run a race twice. Last time I wasn’t quick enough to get welsh cakes. #fixed. 1:22:55. #villagebakeryhalfmarathon #running #training #comrades2019

Whilst we are at it. May as well sweep the board. #racing #villagebakeryhalfmarathon #running #tomrades #comrades2019
