Congratulations on being an ultra runner! (I know I'm a bit late saying that...). I'm in a similar position to you was there - really want to do an ultra. I've only done half marathons so far but I'm going to do Endure24 in Reading which is technically an ultra but in laps. It's amazing how high up the results you were considering it was your first ever ultra.

Thank you so much! It was definitely a great intro to ultra and from there my confidence and goals have grown. Good luck with Endure24! I think I’d love to try that kind of race style some day.

A thumbs up from grandma Carol! She loved seeing you and hearing you talk.

Oh I’m so glad she got to see it! Thank you for sharing it with her xxx

Enjoyed watching how your day panned out. I also took part this year but found I didn't eat enough food and really struggled towards the end! Congrats on becoming an ultra runner! :)

[@seannas-world]

Thank you for watching and congrats on taking part! Yeah, I didn’t think I’d struggle with eating as I live to eat but replacing all you’re burning is hard! Especially once you’re sick of gels and sugary things. I was so glad when I got a sandwich at the aid station as it wasn’t sweet, but then felt unwell after.

You did amazingly well and I hope the buzz got will stay with you for a long time you have achieve two things one your goal of running an Ultra and two crossing something off your list. And never mind about the stop start vlog style it showa the whole experience of everything, so thank you so much for that.

[@seannas-world]

Thank you! And yes I’m not sure if the buzz will ever go away.

Hi! Well done, huge congratulations!! I’m thinking of doing this, can I ask how many months did you train?

[@seannas-world]

Thank you! It’s a great race and I’d really recommend it. If I recall correctly, I did around 4-5 months of targeted training , but I’d been running fairly consistently before that for a while.

[@celestekriel1506]

Hi Seanna, thanks so much for your reply! Yes I’ve done Marathons before but haven’t been running for a year and just getting back into it. I have a plan and started on Sunday so I have about 5 months to train as well. Hopefully I can manage it! Thanks again!
