From zero to Ultra
If someone had said to me three years ago I would be considering running an ultra I would have laughed at them.

Times, goals and running underwear
:We'll leave the underwear for a minute, it's nothing raunchy or visual. Just a few thoughts and what I wear, having come about after reading a few articles out there. I was looking through my phone notebook the other day and came across a note from back in August last year (2014). I had done … Continue reading Times, goals and running underwear
