We are very lucky to be able to run as a couple 💕 Yes it has its ups and downs, but on this occasion Aimee got Paul through this difficult section of the Winter Downs 200. He would have DNFd without her by his side, but she pushed him on and we went on to finish the race together 💪

Does wearing a high viz top detract from a red, sweaty face?? 🤔 🤣🤣
Aimee set off for her run at 07:53 this morning - she will be leaving much earlier tomorrow as it was already far too hot by that time!! 🥵🥵
Stay hydrated everyone!! 😎

Another fun part of ultra running is supporting others 🙌🏻 - on this particular occasion we helped our good friend Sara on her first 100 mile race. Aimee took on official pacing duties after Sara reached 50 miles leaving Paul to crew without her. Deep in the night Paul’s concentration was a little lacking (translation: non existent 😆) and he missed important instructions 😂
We’re pleased to say Sara successfully completed her race despite a few hiccups along the way with the crew 🙈

Deep into a 24 hour race - the early, dark hours of the morning can be the hardest and the coldest. It’s tricky to keep fuelling and to regulate your body temperature. Aimee felt dizzy and sick at 3 am after running 75 miles and just needed a 10 minute rest to reset - she didn’t go to sleep but that short time off her feet did the world of good 🙌🏻 Once she got her legs going again (🤪) she ended up running 105 miles in 22:59:50 - at that time a PB! 💪

Halfway through a big effort, are you happy you have reached halfway or are you thinking “sh*t, I have to do that all again” 😬

Fatigue has set in, the brain is telling you to stop … it’s the unmistakeable shuffle of someone deep into a 100 miler 🤣 At this point Paul was battling blisters and chafing! 😖

07/06/2026

Paul set out at 5am on Friday 5 June 2026 to run 100 miles around his childhood town of Alcester to raise awareness of men’s mental health for June Men’s Health Month. Aimee kept him company between miles 35 and 61 but otherwise he ran completely alone. He suffered through heat and humidity during the day 🥵 then torrential rain in the night 💦, he endured blisters, chafing and knee pain and he constantly battled his own brain telling him to stop 🧠 But despite all this he completed 100.56 miles in 27 hours 💪
