  • Can’t believe its been four weeks since the #clouds lifted to reveal #Wales, its #mountains and all their glory, as we began our journey south in the @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace and what was to be the #runningadventure of a lifetime! -- #timeflies #tryfan #ogwenvalley #snowdonia
  • A few more photos from this years @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace #ultramarathon. These were taken during day one, as we approached the support point in the #ogwenvalley before our ascent of #tryfan and the #glyders -- #dragonsbackrace #wales #welsh #mountainrunning
  • Week one I #ran 320km down the spine of #wales. Climbed 15,000m, burnt loads of calories and lost over 3% body fat - Week two I didn't #run at all and if I saw a calorie I ate it!! - Week three, time to get back in the game, starting with some #yoga and a renewed focus on my #nutrition
  • And last but by no means least, day 5 of the @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace. With rolling hills and a traverse of the #theblackmountain it was an awesome way to end a weeks #mountain #running anddefinitely without a doubt, the #runningadventure of my life!
  • Photos from the penultimate day of the 2019 @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace, the day we #ran through the beautiful and remote #elanvalley and I got all selfish and decided that my ankle injury could be dammed!
  • More @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace photos, this time taken as I #ran through the #moelwynion and #rhinogydd #mountains in #snowdonia on day 2 of the race. Another day of awesome #running in some truly spectacular scenery
  • More @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace photos, this time taken on day 3, as I #ran through the #cloud over the #cadiaidris #mountains and on into mid #wales. Another day of awesome #running in some truly spectacular scenery
  • Some photos I managed to grab during my #running in day one of last weeks @berghausofficial @dragonsbackrace. Truly epic, if brutal, #runningadventure in the #snowdonia #mountains and one I’ll treasure for ever!
