My First 50K Ultra! | Peak District Ultra Challenge - 2026

This week, I took on my very first 50k at the Peak District Ultra Challenge... Things were going fairly well until cramps hit around the 30K mark, turning the final 20K into a real battle, however the goal was simple: keep moving forward. The event itself was brilliantly organised, and despite the struggles, crossing that finish line made every step worth it. This race taught me a lot about ultra running, pacing, nutrition, and what I need to work on in training. Every challenge is another step forward, and this is just the beginning of the journey
