Last nights sunset and one of my last ones before going back to work and back to the deep dark depths of the Med, been a great week home eating and recovering from a busy July of trails and ended up run/walking 500km and climbing 25,000m in the Mountains @likeys_shop @gutzifoods

LakeLand 100 - 29hrs 59mins. Really tough day out, started off in baking hot summer conditions into thunderstorms during the night and eventually driving wind and rain. . Was going really well until about mile 90 when I got lost, went off course by a few km, got soaked to the bone, got cold, legs seized up, stomach went. . Hobbled the last few miles in absolute tatters mentally and physically with this definition of Endurance rolling around in my head ‘the struggle to continue against the mounting desire to stop’ sums up the last 6 hours to a tee! @likeys_shop
In the Lake District for a weekend of fun through the fells, Lakeland 100mile Ultra, one of the biggest Ultra races out there, 500 punters starting this evening at 6pm to do a full loop of the area including 6,750m of climbing. Hopefully the body holds up after the last few weeks in the Pyrenees, repping team @likeys_shop with @foshy1 TRACKING LINK IN BIO race number 198🔥😎😜
Let that mountain yoga set you free, only for the ultra conscious of course . Just finished up after 12 days, 350km and 18,000m of climbing through the Pyrenees following the GR11 trail and HRP Haute Route Pyrenees.
Looking up at Monte Perido Massif, some of highest mountains in the Pyrenees. Amazing journey so far and absolutely blown away by the natural beauty of these mountains and valleys. @likeys_shop @tangerinecomms @gutzifoods @garminoutdoor

Cycle sesh with my pal the awesome @kikomatthews along the Thames Path in the rain getting soaked to the bone, nice bit of recovery for the legs after the weekend and before I ship out to work this week, off to Libya to dive the murky depths of the Med at 200m. . New blog post up about my job as Saturation Diver. I did a Q&A with @avauntmag recently. Link In Bio.
I ran the Skye Trail Ultra yesterday, 125km from North to South through some of the most amazing scenery imaginable and managed to bag a 3rd place 😁 kitted in @likeys_shop gear.
