I’m Chris – an ultrarunning enthusiast.

Competing in challenging races means pushing myself and testing my limits. To achieve something so physically and mentally demanding is empowering and life affirming.

Running hasn’t always been a passion of mine. In fact, for the first 29 years of my life I actively avoided running. However, my lifestyle was in need of an overhaul and so I started jogging. Since then, I haven’t stopped.

I typically run 5 or 6 times per week and I enjoy the structure that training brings to my day-to-day life.

Running helps to organise my weekly activities, and keeps me disciplined.
