Batavieren relay race (175km). 9 old ringers vs 8,000 students and 325 teams : 5th place in the end 💪👵👴 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉🎊though it probably says more about the level of intoxication of Dutch students than our ability... ° ° no sleep since Friday morning and...I've felt worse. Not sure 3 legs x 7km was best recovery for achilles heel but 🤷‍♂️ ° ° amazing event overall, the finish is out of this world with thousands of (drunk) students cheering you on👏👏

Bratislava ➡️ Budapest 235km 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️ DONE ☑️☑️ ° Days 5 & 6 (Esztergom ➡️ Leanyfalu 38km, Leanyfalu ➡️ Budapest 27km) ☑️☑️ ° Few reflections! : ° considering this is twice the weekly mileage record I've ever run, my body coped surprisingly well (though achilles heel may need some rest... 🤕) ° anyway, I'm sure this will turn out to be excellent training for summer track season... 😂 ° overall though, newfound respect for people who do 100milers in one go (why?!) or even longer ultras. 🤯 Again, WHY?! ° on plus side, considering I ran about 200km on a sore achilles heel, it's incredible how the mind can override the body when you set yourself a challenge and refuse to give up. Well done brain! 👾 (that's a brain 🤷‍♂️) ° on a practical note, the online definition of the cycle "route" we were following may have been a little generous... Fluctuated between highway, off-road and normal cycle paths...🤔 ° and finally, this would have been impossible without my water carrier and donkey extraordinaire @messepip 😍 - doing this or any #ultramarathon without any company would be horrible! ° ° ° photos : 1 in Budapest! 2 arriving 3 offroading 4 random missiles lying around 5 along the Danube 6 offroading 7 beautiful Esztergom

#Bratipest Days 3 and 4 Gyor ➡️ Komarno (41km), Komarno ➡️ Esztergom (58 (!) km). Hardest out of the way thank god! Legs ☠️ but it's giving me a chance to master my Forrest Gump shuffling... ° photo 1: a well earned rest 🙃 ° 2: the ridiculous basilica in Esztergom over the Danube⛪ ° 3: the despair you feel after 47km at the sight of a DO NOT ENTER sign on your path leading to a 2km detour 😖 ° 4 and 5: along the Danube 🏞️ ° 6: finding an amazing lunch spot along Danube🥪🥧 ° 7: necessary evil🤪 ° 8 and 10: along the way🏝️ ° 9: the border crossing! 👨‍✈️👩‍✈️

Days 1 and 2 #bratipest ✔️ ° Everything reasonably holding up for now. Bratislava ➡️ Halaszi ➡️ Gyor ° Let's see if the body can last another 150km... Next stop back in Slovakia to Komarno. Also, #wheresmyfuckinghairgone 😭

This door seemed happy 😊😂 ° Must be because it's glad it's not running the #londonmarathon tomorrow 😁 good luck everyone! ° ° #smile #behappy #smiles @bratislava_castle

Little jog around the pyramids and Cairo a few weeks ago! Verdicts ⤵️ ° Giza 🤩😎👍👍👍 ° Cairo 😱😵🤪😷👎👎👎 ° Write-up on www.80runs.co.uk, link in bio! #egypt #cairo #gizapyramids #giza ° ° ° #londonmarathon

My lasting memory of the Paris marathon... 😂🚽 ° Lesson learnt... Don't go to Egypt a few days before a marathon! 🇪🇬💩 Went through all nine months of pregnancy in as many kilometres 🤰... ° Not the best day all in all but hey, tis only running and I made it to the end! Now to focus on shorter stuff for a little while (once the tiny issue of a 250km run from Bratislava to Budapest is out of way) ° Few thoughts on www.80runs.co.uk, link in profile ° @marathonparis

Well, I couldn't NOT got for a quick 5k trot around the block while in Cairo... 😁😏 📷@messepip

Suffice to say, Pippa is distraught. Bit of a mess on Champs Élysée for my run this morning! #giletsjaunes #paris #running #laduree #thugs #macron #macarons #macaronstagram

Parkrun tourism! Was meant to be easy jog ahead of 10km race tomorrow but couldn't let a man with his 🐶 beat me. Took one wrong turn 🤦‍♂️ then hid behind front two until 300m from end. 🐶 tried his best but no chance I'd let it win. 😂🏆🥇Woof! Bloody cold ☃️☃️☃️☃️ • • • • • • • • • 🌎 • 🏃‍♂️ • 🌎 www.80runs.co.uk link in profile • 🏃‍♂️ • 🌎 • 🏃‍♂️ #parkrun #katowice #poland #runchat #running #run #runners #runner #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #igrunners #igrunner #fitness #fitnessmotivation #travel #travelblog #runningcommunity #veganrunner #running_highlight
