Three years ago I was flicking through Runner's World post-ultra, when I read about a new charity called , set up to help people overcome the financial barriers of ultra running.
Which got me thinking. I've always been struck by the power of together. As a coach, I started with club and group coaching before moving into individual. I've seen how community support can help you achieve more than you thought possible. So I had an idea.
First launched through Project 5k to 55k last year, which developed into Stronger Together this year, I've collaborated with into ultra and some amazing other coaches and partners to help runners complete their first ultra in that group setting.
Fast forward three years and that little idea has now gone full circle and appeared in the very magazine that first inspired it

You'll hear lots more about the course over the coming months, but today I am celebrating this moment. The moment that says dream big. Be inspired, have slightly madcap ideas, find your crew, and run with it (pun intended). The joy on my face in these pictures says that it's worth it.
