Isle of Skye Ultra 🌬️⛰️
I’ve never pushed through anything like that in my life. The course was absolutely stunning and absolutely brutal at the same time.
Huge elevation gain right from the start, with winds I’m told reached around 60mph. I’m not going to lie, it was beating me down early on.
Thankfully once we dropped to lower ground the weather settled, and for most of the race I was actually enjoying it — unreal scenery, wildlife, racing, and just ticking off the miles one by one.
The last six miles got really tough. Mentally I still felt strong, but my knees and right foot had had enough. From there it became a mix of jogging and power hiking to the finish line.
This was a proper team effort.
knows what he’s done for me — not just for this race, but with the coaching, advice, chats, experience and always having my back.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better crew man. I didn’t need to think about a thing all day because everything was taken care of. Driving up and down the island, then the long 5-hour drive home afterwards… I won’t forget what you did for me this weekend.
Big thanks as well to , who was crewing for but still jumped in to help Kev and keep me going whenever I came through.
Massive respect to Andy getting this done too 🫡
Thank you to all the staff, volunteers and photographers. Every single person was supportive and kind. Special mention to the marshals and volunteers up in the hills — that was some shift in those conditions.
And as always, thank you to , and for the support while I train for events like this. The long training days take a lot, and the effort they put into helping with the girls so I can get out and train can’t be underestimated. Without that support, these events simply don’t happen.
Really appreciate all the messages as well. It’s honestly overwhelming in the best way seeing how many people care.
Now it’s time for a proper 2–3 week break from running.
My body and my brain definitely need it.
