UK's Toughest MARATHON 11 years after BRAIN INJURY | Eryri Marathon 2024
The UK's TOUGHEST marathon 'The Eryri Marathon' in Snowdonia running around Yr Wyddfa aka Snowdon. Three huge climbs that generate rumours you need to add on 30mins to your usual marathon time... problem for me is that I don't have a 'usual marathon time' I run ultras, much further and much slower (normally) - this was going to be a totally different challenge!
Interestingly, 11 years ago to the day, 26th October 2013, I couldn't even manage a walk with friends in the peak district as I was battling to recovery from the brain injury that ended my 13 year professional rugby career. 11 years on and the battle was on to break the 4 hour mark, after starting too fast with lofty hopes and ideas of running a 3:30!!!
The wheels came off after half way... but could I get them 'back on' and bring it back together for the 3rd and final gruelling climb...???
Thanks for all the support, especially those there on the day, the whole way around the course, as you can see from the video the support was epic!!! All us runners couldn't do it without you!
