- Can I run 102 miles in under 24hours?
The Cotswold Way Century, 102 miles of non-stop racing from Chipping Campden to Bath along the beautiful Cotswold Way National Trail
If you think the Cotswolds are full of gentle, rolling hills, you'd be right. However, this route takes you up and down the escarpments over and over again to make sure you get to enjoy every hilltop viewpoint and a host of chocolate-box villages nestled in the valleys. It's hilly. It's hard. To those who have finished, it's amazing. To many who haven't, it's really quite difficult…

Great journey, felt like I experienced as well. I walked the Cotswold Way once and cannot imagine running it within a day. Production and music choice was also 💯. Well done mate 👍😎
That was amazing.. well done, Francois!
It was an absolute pleasure running with you for the first part of the race - and huge kudos for going so far under 24 hours, let alone finishing it! I hugely enjoyed your commentary throughout- it was spot on 👍🏼
P.S. I believe the pretty village was Stanton 😂
And you! You did brilliantly as well. What have you got next on the list?
An epic video. Hugely inspiring congratulations 🎉
I have just watched one of the best accounts of a 100 mile ultra.
Brilliantly put together.
Congratulations on a epic adventure .
Excellent!💪
Thank you so much! Sometimes I’m so determined to get something done it’s never in doubt. This was one of those events. Happy with how it went, thank you for the kind words.
Really, really good. I watch a lot of ultra vlogs and this was one of the best I've watched. Documented the ups and downs extremely well. Well done my friend. You have a new subscriber!
Wow many thanks for the kind words! Means a lot. Glad you enjoyed and that I managed to convey the experience. Thanks for following, plenty more to come!
Absolutely brilliant both the running and determination and your wonderful filming and supporters. Loved it Francois 🏃🏻♂️👊💥🏁
Great video Francois and epic running. Look forward to seeing your performance at the Arc!
Well, yes, that one makes me a lot more nervous. Going in blind to the Arc! Hopefully I can keep up with you 😉
What a hero! You pulled out all the stops to make a terrific video of this breathtaking performance. Those hills and steps at the end were destroying my soul, just watching you tackle them. Well done, Francois 👍🏻🏃♂️🙂
😂 the hills at the end will finish even the best runners off! Thanks for the support. I enjoyed that one!
Incredible job Francois! What an achievement. And a brilliant video showing the effort it took. Excited to hear what's next (once youve recovered...!)
Many thanks! Loved it! Lakes in a Day 50miler is next (7th Oct) and final race of the year. Time to go all in and see how I fair on a ‘shorter’ distance! 😂
@@CotswoldTrailRunner so jealous of your robust-ness to be able to take all this punishment...
Great video Francois and congrats on the sub-24. A wonderful race and route on my home trails, was going so well until it wasn't ☹️. One misplaced step on a tree root and race over in a second. Limped to Painswick but not my day, but will be stronger for the experience next year 🙂
Sorry to hear about the injury, another friend of mine also dropped out on a twisted ankle. This was my 3rd time so keep coming back and you’ll get it done. Thanks for the support 👍
What a wonderful video, that's a brilliant effort by you and thank you for the words of wisdom, they really resonate, I love to see someone living their best life, it shows it's possible for all of us. You should try for UTMB or WS.
Thank you so much! Enjoyed that one. Yes for sure, Western States and UTMB are on the cards. A few years away but certainly in the 5yr plans 😉
An achievement to be proud of there! Wonderful story telling and acknowledgment of the mental aspect of running, especially 100 miles. Looks like you’re doing the Arc too - I may see you out there on the SWCP 😬
Thanks for watching! Yes, I'm signed up for the Arc100. No idea of the route or course but know it'll be a completely different adventure!. If you see me, come say hi! 👋
Great video Francois, I managed to finish too... My first 100 miler.. it was the last 20 for me also, that were the dig deep miles. But never thought of giving up. Maybe told myself 'never again' a couple of times.... well done on sub 24 too mate...
Huge congrats! Well done! It’s a tough route I will admit. I’ve often told myself ‘never again’ but not on this occasion. Rest and recover well 👍
Amazing Francois. Such an achievement and loved the narrative on this and how you told the story. What support too from your crew and the aid stations! Hope you're recovering well, your running has been epic this year 🙌
Many thanks Ben. I’m pleased it went well. Lessons to take away but overall happy. Recovery has gone very well and I’m back to full health and fitness. Onto the final event of the year, Lakes in a Day 50miler (7th Oct). 🤞
What a Summer & Autumn Francois, Lakeland & Cotswold Way just awesome!!! Thanks for sharing the journey just a superb video..... on to the next adventure 🙂
Cheers mate. Appreciate the support! Yeah I’ve been lucky to not only complete but enjoy this years races. One more to go, Lakes in a Day. Fingers crossed 🤞
Francois, a truly superb video. Expertly narrated, bringing the soul-searching, resilience-making, ups and downs to life in a way ‘we’ ultra runners know only too well. I am so very pleased for you, you smashed your goal with a super sub-24 (and some!) ,testament to your commitment, your discipline, and strength of character. See you on the trails my Strava friend! 💪💪
Thanks mate. Hope you’re ok and injury isn’t too bad. Gutted for you, but know you’ll get sub 24 no problem next time 👍
Brilliant video, and a huge achievement ❤
