Yesterday I ran 50km. My 4th ultra marathon. Fuelled on nothing but boiled potatoes, cheap sweets, and malt loaf.
It was also my mates first ultra. Jumping from a 24k prior max distance.
2 interesting conclusions:
1/ you don’t need fancy fuel, think £3 gels and other expensive chewy stuff.
2/ if you slow down you can go way way further than what you feel is possible.
A fun day out. Followed by heaps of Guinness.
