UTMB.. let’s get this done! 👍 This incredible adventure starts at 6pm Chamonix time on Friday. 170km, 10,000m climb and decent, dancing round the Mont Blanc Mountain to arrive back in town about 40 hours later. The GoPro is coming to and I’m so excited to share the magic of these mountains, the journey through 🇫🇷 🇮🇹🇨🇭 .. as the world of ultra trail is united once again. 2500 dreams will be here tomorrow. Bon Courage everyone.. may your run be safe, see you back in Chamonix for a beer and sharing of stories after. 🤗 Let’s go!!! 🙌 taken in Chamonix, France by @benparkes

Had a crack at something new.. and have my first cycling medal! Proud to finish the Mallorca 312 (225k distance).. all solid cross training miles in the bank for the Brooklyn Half Marathon in a few weeks!

Don’t be afraid to try something new.. as George Elliot said.. it’s never too late to be what you might have been!’ And while I’m very happy being a runner, it’s been so much fun to add this new dimension into the mix!

Now let’s see what happens in Brooklyn.. faster, slower.. or about the same?!? 🤷🏼 taken in Alcúdia Mallorca by @benparkes
