After yesterday’s race, today was about relaxing. It started with a great coffee at @thebookbrewery_ambleside with @merjumpyjames before heading over to Rothay Park for the 55 and 100k awards ceremony. It was nice seeing @jamesfowler255 again. We shared a lot of great miles during the race. Dani and I had a nice walk down to Windermere for a beer by the water and then took the path around the waterfalls in Ambleside. All in all, another great trip to the Lake District. I’m already looking forward to my next trip here, where I’ll be supporting the @lakeland_50_100. by @steve_kjar

Lakeland Trails 100k: the race didn’t go quite to plan but was still a fun adventure in the Lakes. The midnight start was great, giving us a stunning sunrise over Haweswater. The hot sun eventually got the best of me. I know my limits and knew when it was time to call it a day. Thanks @lakeland_trails for the support and putting on a great event.

From the fells and waters of the Lake District last weekend to the rolling Essex countryside this weekend. This weekend’s race was the Stour Valley Marathon put on by the always great @haretortoiserunning This was the 7th time I’ve done this race and the route never gets easier 😂. I was the tail runner / sweeper, following the route after the runners, picking up any trash along the way (well done runners I only picked up 4 gel tops, a pack of tissues and a tube of sunscreen) and ensuring that all the runners make it to the finish line. I left about 75 minutes after the start of the race and ran a few miles with a half marathon runner, before carrying on to the last section of the marathon. I had great chats with the checkpoints, letting them know there wasn’t anyone behind me, and eventually caught up the remaining marathon runners with about 3 miles to go. Well done everyone who stood at the start line this morning!@haretortoiserunning events are always good fun - check them out. They’re well organised, super friendly and inclusive of all abilities, and I always see a lot of friends 😊 by @steve_kjar

Race 2 of the weekend: @lakeland_trails Coniston Marathon This is always one of my favourite races. It was my first ever trail marathon back in 2016. Yesterday was the 5th time I’ve done it and I’ll definitely be back. If you haven’t been to a Lakeland Trails race, check them out now. They have distances from 5k to 100k and cater for all abilities. Plus my friend James from @jumpyjamesphotography takes the most amazing pictures at the races.

@ultrachallenges London to Brighton 100km: what a day!! The hot sun and little shade definitely added to the challenge. Starting in Old Deer Park in Richmond, Jerry and I joined the Thames Path before heading south. The London suburbs soon turned into rolling countryside with the sun beating down on us. Any shade along the way was a very welcome relief. As the sun began to set we were blessed with a beautiful sunset and cooler temperatures. There were seven checkpoints along the way for us to top up water and get some food. Neither of us were able to eat much with the heat, so I relied almost entirely on Tailwind (like I have for many of my races). Although, the jacket potato with beans at 2:00am was a welcome treat. As night became day the sunrise was as stunning as the evening’s sunset. Onwards we pushed through the remaining 12km and the hilliest section of the race. Eventually we could see the Brighton Racecourse and the finish line we’d been aiming for. One last hill and we crossed the line, just under 24 hours after we started. Was it hard - yepDid we have fun - most certainly (we even made a cat friend along the way 😊)Congratulations @jerrycarey92 and welcome to the 100km club. #gotailwind #therunningcharity #ultrachallenge #teamvåga by @steve_kjar
