About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog. My name is Simon; I am an ultrarunner (or I hope to be at least).

Back in 2020, when the entire world stopped for COVID, I started running. Before then, I had never been able to run 5km without walking! I got the bug so to speak; now I’m on a journey to run my first ultramarathon in 2021.

2021 is not just the year I run an ultramarathon it’s also the year I turn 40 so this has an added incentive to do this before then!

This is the story of someone who couldn’t run 5km without walking until he was 38 and managing to run an ultramarathon within 2 years.

Follow me on my journey.
