BREAKHEART BACKYARD ULTRA | I'll be back!
The Breakheart Backyard Ultra was my first attempt at this race style and it didn't disappoint! 4 miles on the hour, every hour until there's one person left!
I didn't expect much as I'm still recovering from a knee injury but managed to surprise myself!
An excellent event, well organised and amazing people! Thank you Paul and Gert Lush Events for this inaugural event, I'll be back!

    Well done on 10!! It was a great event - my first backyard ultra too - I only managed 6 as I pulled a muscle in my leg and I fell over! It was super friendly and I've already registered for next year. Will deffo plan on at least 10 by then! Chantal :-)))

    Nice one Francois, this looked like a lovely route and a good atmosphere. The community feel and seeing the whole of the field at the end of every loop is really cool. Well done on getting well past hour initial target with the knee trouble. Hope it continues to mend well

      @CotswoldTrailRunner 3 месяца назад

      Been running since 2017, I did about 2years on road between 5k and half marathon, then switched solely to trail and long distance. It doesn't matter how long it takes you, we're all built differently, it matters how consistent you are. Now that you have that 10k benchmark, stick at it and I'm sure it'll come down. Good Luck!

    i can only run some of the time to stay in zone 2, so these are always run walks for me. usually 6 min runs 10 min brisk walks keep me in the zone for as many hours as I care to go.

    • @CotswoldTrailRunner
      @CotswoldTrailRunner 3 месяца назад

      Perfect! That's the whole point! To continue for as long as needed without stressing/straining the heart and lungs. I use run/walk in all my ultras. It's a necessity to complete 100 miles (for me at least). Thanks for watching and commenting.

    • @CotswoldTrailRunner
      @CotswoldTrailRunner 4 месяца назад

      Of course. I’m putting a miniseries together on preparing for an ultra and one of those episodes will be on navigation. I’m aware that many people worry about uploading and using a gps watch as well as navigating at night. I was also worried about this going into the Arc, but it turned out ok luckily. Thanks for the support and stay tuned! 👍

      Thanks for watching, the drink is literally called Nurishment. Only downside is it still comes in a can (old skill), although guess could be decanted into soft flasks. Available on Amazon. I went through about 3 or 4 during the race. Here’s the link: amzn.eu/d/bjXlmRz
