- My first 100 mile ultra - the Centurion North Downs Way 100!
An amazing experience, made all the more meaningful by the fact I managed to raise almost £5,000 for Cancer Research UK! www.justgiving.com/fundraisin...

Thank you for making this. I was also at NDW100 2021 but the conditions beat me and I dropped at 40 miles. I'm going back this year though (2023) and have already started praying to the weather gods :)
Good luck with your training! I think we had very unusual weather in 2021 - typically it is hot and sunny, so a different kind of challenge. Hope it works out for you!
Really inspiring....
Superb video! Really well done for finishing such a challenging race. You've captured well all the highs and lows.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it
Great to watch considering I've just finished the NDW 50 for the 2nd time as last years event I missed cut off by 4 minutes and this year made it with loads of time in the bank.
Such an amazing achievement as the thought of going another 50 miles from where i finished yesterday probably would of killed me.
Well done.
Congratulations! It was hot out there on Saturday - I'm so pleased you had a good race 🙌
Great video. I love your attitude. Inspiring stuff 👍🍷
Awesome. Very gritty but sweet, too. Nice focus on family 😁
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great effort and great vlog. I’m trying to transition from road races to trial with the aim of doing races like this within The next year. vlogs like this truly inspire.
That means a lot, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I was all about road running until about two years ago but I haven’t looked back since. Enjoy the transition. - adventure awaits!
One of the best vlogs I’ve seen of the event …. Very down to earth and real. Inspirational stuff ! Well done James 👍👊🏃🏻♂️
Thanks so much, Michael - really glad that you enjoyed it!
This was a fantastic account of the race, filled with all the highs and lows. Your timestamping is massively helpful too. Nice work mate and well done
Cheers, Craig - thanks so much for the feedback 🙏
Great account of the day, very impressive and very inspiring - Congratulations.
Cheers 🙂
Well done! I actually finished about 15 minutes after you - my first 100 miler as well! Hope you’ve recovered well, really made me smile watching this and reliving the experience so thank you for sharing (still having nightmares of Detling steps)
So glad you enjoyed it - and congratulations on a great race yourself!
you're my hero!!!
Thanks, Dani - you're far too kind!
Really great stuff. You told the story of the day so well. Congratulations on the finish, and sub 23! Hope you've recovered 🙂👍🏻
Thanks Mark! I sure have -- just ran the SDW100 this past weekend in fact 😁
Well done on a super race and first 100miler! I chose to do and film the SDW100 last year instead but also keen for this one, so thank you for your insight and experience! Planning any more? What did you find hardest about this race?
Thanks, I’m really glad you found it useful! Will definitely check out your SDW100 video as I have that race coming up later this summer 😅. The part I found hardest was the stairs after Detling - I hadn’t recce’d that part, and from the course description etc just didn’t have a concept of how long and challenging that stretch was going to be. Coming right after a cheerful aid station it really deflated my mood. If I’d known it was coming I think it would have made a big difference, mentally, so how I handled it. Otherwise it’s a great course and I enjoyed the majority of it!
@@runjamesrun Thanks for the info. Don't let my ordeal in the SDW100 put you off! I struggled with the heat and the hills were relentless. I couldn't recce any of the route so did it blind but glad I got it done. I tend to struggle to fuel properly in the heat and generally after 40miles. Working on that this year! Best of luck!
It was very useful and very interesting mate, well done! Maybe we can do one together sometime...
I would love that Michael! TP100 or SDW100 next year??
Really inspiring....
Thanks! You never forget your first :)
