THE CHALLENGE

168 Miles - 38 hours, 51 minutes. And no I didn't run the channel. I slept like a baby. Waking up to run along main roads was a challenge.

​

The rain came, the route wasn't particularly interesting but the things it taught me I'll have with me forever. My legs were not happy with me.

 

A slow and steady plod from one town to the next with a few stops for ice creams and a lunch, I stopped to sleep for 4 hours and continued through the night till the city lights came into focus.

​

One of the most memorable hallucinations of my life was seeing the Eiffel Tower in bright pink for about 4 hours when it wasn't possible to see any Paris buildings. My mind and my body were on the limit.
