      You can do it planned to do a 75k 4100+ in November in Taiwan 🇹🇼 but unfortunately it looks like I will have to go back to Germany end of October. Still doing the training plan. Though. Hang in there and good luck running 60-90k 5:39 a week is quite tough and takes a significant amount of time

    Dear Anna, fantastic effort! And you briefly pointed out something that I think is very important and kind of special about trail running and the trail running community as such: it IS for everyone. Everyone is welcome, regardless of where they are on their own running journey, it is inherently non-elitist, helpful and even during races there is more of a spirit of "being in this together" than racing against someone. I do believe a large amount of that attitude and atmosphere comes from mainly two things, (a) the lack of ridiculous amounts of prize money, which really helps to keep the kind of people away who have no interest in trail running beyond money and "beating everyone else" and (b) wholesome people like you, who celebrate the true spirit of trail running. Best of luck for your race!

    I was thinking the other day that I hadn’t seen you on here for a while.. glad you’re still part of the TRC challenges.. sounds like an interesting run you’ve picked, you’ve never picked easy.
    Love the lakes, I’ve done a few mountain marathons in Snowdon, but not managed a Lakes marathon yet, only a few long halves that have been fun.. wish I lived closer to get there for visiting and training. Have a few ultras on the south coast and Wales early next year, but think I wanna do the lap as my first Lakes ultra 🤔 but I’ll have see what my achy ankle is gonna allow me to do.🤞🏼

I will be trying other trail races as soon as I can find one that is a bit less adventurous.

    Quite inspirational, and beautifully filmed as well. Well done, Anna.

    Having a go at the Ladybower 50k next month, been injured for the last couple of months so hoping to just get round it and more importantly ENJOY IT 😁😁

    Not only inspirational, but you look like you genuinely enjoy what you are doing. The only presenter worth watching on this channel .Gone downhill (no pun intended) since you stepped down from being a regular presenter.

    A couple of years ago when I started running and realized I prefer distance to speed, I set a lofty goal of running a 60k in the year I turned 60. I did a marathon last year and then fell out of running oomph. But just today I've decided to renew my goal and have spent a few hours today trying to decide how to train for my 60k in 2024. Your video is perfect timing!
