Running 100 Miles Before Night Fall
In this episode Coach Marshy talks to Alex about his 100 miles at the Grim Reaper Ultra marathon and how he did it before night fall. Alex talks about his training at the highest level, being a father and a full time teacher. Alex gives insight into how much Ultra running has changed his life.
The Grim Reaper was relaunched in 2023 by Steve Cole & Laura Bailey, runners local to the Grimsthorpe Estate who compete in races of distances from 10km up to 100-miles. Their plan was to create an event that catered for runners of all abilities, in a stunning location and with a friendly, supportive vibe. It's fair to say that the 260+ runners in 2023 feel they achieved that goal judging by the 4.8* (out of 5) rating on Letsdothis.com
