Derby Tup Oct 2021 8:27pm, 14 Oct 2021 52,146 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup For a first ultra enter ten days before in the pub half cut, and make sure you’ve not run more than a half marathon previously. You’ll be in bed before 8pm after the event, and not be able to walk for a week but you’ll be hooked
