Absolutely outstanding mate! Sub 80 hours is some real top drawer stuff. Well done. To get through those last 50 miles really took some doing. But you got it done !! I honestly feel like I've been on a tour of your running journey and what a privilege. To only find your channel the other week, really has been an eye opener. Take it easy mate and thanks for sharing.
Outstanding Ross, 15th place with an injury shows you are really coming on now. The mental toughness you showed here will serve you well in the spine race. Cant wait for the video. Well done again.
Cool video. DNF’d RAS in 2019, watching this and reading about peoples experiences over the last couple of weeks has been inspiring. Might have another crack, thanks for sharing 👍
Well done fella! That was a great video. Fantastic achievement just to finish when you were injured miles out never mind breaking the 80 hours! Walking this over two weeks was hard enough - I was well into my cookie jar (and possibly the other half’s jar as well!) by the end! This is off the scale endurance. Totally in awe of what you have done here. 👏
Thanks for this video mate - a great personal journey - one question - about the song at the end of the video, it is high on you by survivor ? but whose singing this version ? thanks a lot mate - best from Vietnam :)
I’m probably not the best to ask for advice cos I probably don’t eat enough. Basically anything calorific which doesn’t take much chewing and goes down without much effort. Soup, noodles, pasta, that sort of thing. On the trail I tend to take a sandwich bag full of nuts, raisins, midget gems and jelly beans.
Look after your feet as much as possible. Change socks whenever you can, especially if Conditions are wet. Also just take things one checkpoint at a time and don’t rest/sleep for too long in case your body starts to seize up.
I didn’t have any more than hour sleep at a time but to be fair that was largely down to the fact I found it difficult to relax enough to actually fall asleep as well as the fact I was trying to break 80hrs. I reckon anything from 60-90mins will be enough to see you for a good few hours on the trail.
Amazing mate! What a journey. A heartfelt thanks for taking us along with you. You are super human!

Wow, 220 Miles is nuts! Congratulations 👏
Brilliant effort. I am running it this year.
Love to know your sleep pattern in the race 🙏
Love it. What Goggins misses out after the cookie jar is the pub. Where friends sink beer, joke and manage life through laughter. ❤
Very true there mate
Epic. Just epic.

Thanks for sharing! Care to share what you typically eat during the ultras?

Sounds like you had the dreaded shin splints.
For those like myself that would just scrape in the 100hr cutoff (or not finish), do you have any advice?

Thanks for that.
When you say, don’t sleep to long. What’s to long in your opinion?

Thanks very much. The waterproof I used was the Montane Men’s Minimus Stretch Ultra Waterproof Jacket. Great for summer wet weather.
