Laughing at G's suggestion of me running this! I have almost fully decided to commit to the highland fling next year as I think I'm ready to try a 50+ Mile off road race and I know the route well now. I'm otherwise committed to supporting Stoosh in another attempt if he chooses to - I really believe he has potential to go faster now we have some more experience of the race and would love to see this! One last crack at a fast marathon for me this Autumn and then who knows .... May cross to the dark side of ultras more! |

Highland Fling is an awesome race. Although I've never got near my first race time I really want to be back in 2017.

I've run some it alone this year but found it very hard on my feet. Can't imagine going the whole way. Or maybe I just need some new trainers

You should be able to get it on i Player Ulric? I've done the WHW race and I would recommend Hokas. Best thing to stop sore feet imo. |
