Seriously impressed! That course is mental - I watched a video by someone who ran it - huge kudos to you!
Well done that man. :) Are you in this vid? (You don't have to identify yourself) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT-co_srMuE My course was a mixture of restored and unrestored sections of wall. The restored wall was like running on stairs of varying sizes, the unrestored sections were either broken stairs, trail or rubble. I personally preferred the restored section as it was closer to my training, but the general consensus was that most preferred the unrestored section. |

Well done mate - great effort on the run and the fundraising.
Makes my cycling escapades look pathetic ;-) |

have you considered upping the distance?, I did a 50k in April and training for a 50 mile race in august :)
but I am considering a marathon through the alps in July: 1800m up, 1400m down during the course. start point is at 1500m so it will be impossible to breathe. |

I've watched the video for the 'hard' version on the restored and unrestored sections of the wall - I couldn't imagine even attempting it - kudos to you! You must have some stamina... :) |
