For the second year in a row, I took my wife and two children (aged six and three) to Chamonix, France, for a week, on the pretence it was a family holiday. The week coincided – oh look! – with the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), a 105-mile mountain ultra I’ve been obsessed with since first doing it in 2015.
