Still trying to find the words for this one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Being selected to represent Scotland at the Snowdon International is something I’ve dreamed about since I first started this journey. To finally pull on the Scotland vest is an honour that means more than I can put into words.

Running has taken me on an incredible journey over the last few years, and there have been plenty of highs, lows, setbacks and lessons along the way. Every early morning, every tough session, and every race has led to this opportunity.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me — my family, friends, training partners, sponsors, and everyone who’s backed me from the beginning. I definitely wouldn’t be here without you.

Special mention to @fatsimpson for taking my big ambitions onboard and guiding me to achieving them 🤝🏻

📷 - @thomaslindie thanks again for taking time out your already busy lifestyle and helping me with content, much appreciated 🤝🏻

It’s a privilege to line up alongside such a strong Scottish team, and I’ll be giving everything I have to do the vest proud.

A dream come true… now it’s time to race. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰️

UTS25 by UTMB (2nd overall)

What just happened 🤯

Tomorrow will be the 9th anniversary of my Granda Thom’s passing.

As the race started the music lifted and the James Bond Theme tuned played - my Granda’s favourite movies were James Bond and I would watch them all with him. The instant rush of adrenaline I got from that has a lot to do with how I performed I went there with one purpose to FAFO - (fuck around, find out) run hard and strategic. I ascend better than I descend so I pushed on the ups and did my best in the downs.

Safe to say it worked!, I won’t glorify my 2nd too much because If it was a better day for @thekrisjones he would have made a mockery of us all and put me in 3rd ( I want to run up hills that quick 😂) due to a quad failure he had to reign it back. But an absolute class athlete - performance and sportsmanship wise as he cheered me up the farm ascent which is brutal 😮‍💨.

I am so grateful to have lined up with that level of athletes and give it my all. @ultratrailsnowdonia thank you for making it one to remember !

@highlandfuelnutrition kept me fuelled during all of this and has a big part to play in all of my performances, it’s there for all the training and it’s there for the races. An amazing product !

Thank you @evandavies.photos for these amazing shots !

Will be seeing a lot more of this, van life has opened up so much opportunities to head for the mountains every weekend.

Where the heart is beating fast but the world slows, the mountains will always feel like home.

SALTIRE 24 (12 hour team of 4)

What a weekend Friday night was a 10k pb, straight over to knockburn set up our HQ for the weekend and then into 12 hours of pure vibes and fast loops from the whole squad to lead us to a CR break and a 1st place team.

The sportsmanship, commitment, and dedication I seen through the weekend is what makes this sport so special.

Shoutout to @marissadsx for her debut ultra event (6hour solo) and putting all her hard work and training to good use securing her first marathon distance ever. So proud !

And to @jec_runs who even though turned up with different intentions for the 24hour solo, he stopped when it wasn’t happening and made it to 100miles and called it there. Not because he wanted to nor because he had too, simply because he has so much more to give this year and wouldn’t let one race ruin it !

And last of all my team were simply unbelievable.

@thejessapproach13 - just a pure vibe. Also a fello post 10k pb racer.
@chloe.hunter.xx - little mileage monster pushing through niggles.
@georgeinsley2007 - the mini lap king, so good to see my boy BACK !

We don't launch products based on what looks good on paper.

We hand them to athletes, send them into training, and wait for the honest feedback.

That's all we're saying for now. by @caiden_th.m
