Ultra Marathon Reality Check — My Biggest Mistakes

Two weeks ago I ran a 54km Ultra Marathon, as part of my 100 Mile Training… and it didn’t quite go how I’d hoped, Ultra Running rarely does.

In this video, I head out on a trail run and take a step back to break it all down — a reality check — what went well, where things started to unravel, and the key lessons I’m taking forward.

Because this isn’t just about one race.
👉 It’s about getting things right for the next Ultra Marathon… and ultimately building towards my 100 mile challenge at 60.

🎯 What I Cover

• A full reflection on my last ultra marathon
• Where the race started to get tough (and why)
• The biggest mistakes I made
• What I learned from the experience
• What I’m changing before my next race (25/04)
• How I’m adapting my training as an older endurance athlete

🧠 Why This Matters

As we get older, it’s not just about pushing harder — it’s about training smarter, learning from experience, and making the right adjustments.

If you’re:
• Training for an ultra marathon
• Coming back from a tough race
• Or looking to improve as an older runner

…this one’s for you.
