My partner and I love watching your films. You are such an inspirational runner and filmmaker. 😮We saw you at Skyline but were too shy to come talk to you. 😂
Well Stephen, after just watching your amazing UTMB success, and the races you did over summer, plus Covid, I think you did well to finish at all. No doubt with stopping to film you would have had no problem get tuned r seven hours. I also did 7.08 last time, four years ago, so was hoping to get comfortably under the seven hours…but not to be. But I did get featured on your channel…my minor moment of fame! (That was me on the final descent complaining my legs had given in) I crossed the line just under 7.30, have to admit walking through the village, but saved the last of my legs for a sprint around the finishing corner. I think, especially as you get older, you need quite a recovery time between long races. I did the Lakeland 55k and then the Tromso Skyrace..(well at least the first half, cut off times were not easy). It did surprise me that I lost the strength in my legs for the RoS, now I know better. That said, there were other commitments and I didn’t achieve anywhere near the training and dedication that Stephen manages.
It really is a lottery with the weather in Scotland. Mostly it’s cloudy and rainy, just just occasionally it’s beautiful and we are very lucky when it is
I had planned to do the 100th Kosice Marathon as my 100th marathon when I first started running marathons way back. Obviously I did my 100 a little sooner than I'd expected. Good luck with it. Should be amazing.
I know it's library music, but I like to think you've commissioned John Williams and an 80 person cinematic orchestra to score you as you cross these finish lines.
That scenery is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I still don't know how you managed it after UTMB and being poorly. And some bits look so scary to climb and to come down. Well done :)
