My name is Giles Thurston and I have what some describe as an unnatural obsession with running and multi-sport!I ran my first ultra marathon back in 2014, love trail running and heading out for long running adventures.Ultrarun.in charts my progress through the sport, my training, racing and general thoughts on the subject and the kit we use.Thanks for dropping by and I hope you find something of interest!

  • Winter may be fast approaching but it still feels like summer when #running in places, with fields of gold to enjoy on hard packed trails. Body feeling better day by day, so I'm hoping a corner has been turned 😁
  • It's been a while since I've posted a #running photo, for good reason, as I've once again been struggling with #injury. It may not have been much but it was a #run #outdoors and I was moving pain free. Hopefully this is the start of my journey back to full fitness! #fingerscrossed
  • Desperate times call for desperate measures and in an attempt to keep up some element of aerobic fitness, strength in my legs and my sanity, I've had to get back on the #turbotrainer ☹️ -- #running #trailrunning #runtoexplore #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #ukrunchat #instarunner #instarun
  • An enjoyable week, scouting out #welsh #runningadventures to come 😁
  • My #review of the @ultimatedirectioneu Adventure Vest 4.0 is now out on @myoutdoors, link in my profile. Read on to find out if #ultimatedirection have developed the ultimate #running vest 😁
  • Heads up to all you #running gear geeks out there. Keep your eyes open for my #review of the @ultimatedirectioneu Adventure Vest 4.0 coming out next week. In my review of the previous version of this vest I stated that @ultimatedirectionusa had nearly found perfection. Have they done enough to push it over the line this time around? -- #run #runtoexplore #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #ukrunchat #time2run #marathon #instarunner #instarun #instafit #runthroughuk #getoutside #ukrunchat #runningadventures #ultimatedirection
  • My race report from my recent #run around the @lakeland_50_100 #ultramarathon is now available on my website - link in profile. Be warned, like the #race, it's long and emotional in places. Thanks to @nolimits.photos for the photo 😁 -- #running #trailrunning #runtoexplore #ultrarunning #ukrunchat #instarunner #instarun #runplanet #runthroughuk #getoutside #runningadventures #lakeland100 #cumbria #mountainfuel #feelgoodfuel #lakedistrict
  • The big #mountains are tantalisingly close this morning. Bringing back memories of #adventures past, along with hopes and dreams of #runningadventures to come 😁 -- #run #running #trailrunning #runtoexplore #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #ukrunchat #instarunner #instarun #runplanet #runningadventure #mountainfuel #feelgoodfuel #projectdragon
