What’s the hardest race you’ve ever done?
The Phantasm 24 event with Salomon in March 2022. Having been asked to take part only the day before, I went into the event with little preparation and not knowing what to expect!
Working as a relay team of four, the most difficult part turned out to be the three hours of rest between each one-hour leg of running. By the time I’d settled from the adrenaline of the run, there were only a couple of hours left to recover, refuel, snatch half an hour of sleep, and then you were back out running again. I knew I couldn’t let other team members Ricky, Matt, and Ali down but about 54 miles later, I never wanted to see an athletics track again!
