Millennium Way Ultra Marathon ✅

[jaybrass73]

Yesterday marked two seminal moments in a running career than began on 26th February 2019 when started Couch to 5K.

I had trained to 22 miles of a 42.8 mile ultra marathon and decided that I wanted to complete my first marathon on my way to completing my first ultra.

Yesterday was hard, I laughed, cried and everything in between but one thing I didn’t do was give up.

Hopefully my story will encourage anyone thinking of starting C25K to see that anything is possible! Do it, you may just surprise yourself, I know I did!

Well done! I like the way Strava thought you should know that this was harder than your usual effort 😂

Woohoo! Amazing progress and achievement!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏. I too laughed at the 'harder than your usual effort' 🤣. At least you didn't get 'congratulations, this completed your March 5k' 😍

Haha! It did notify me I’d completed my March 5K, 10K, half marathon but not Marathon! Thanks for your kind words!💚
