Tarawera Ultramarathon by UTMB is almost here. I've trained for the Tarawera 102km ultramarathon four years in a row. This year, I want to get a top-10 finish....
Can I do it? Last year, Tarawera was cancelled due to covid, which was lucky for me because I trained so hard that I got a sacral stress fracture a couple of weeks before the scheduled race date 😥.
In 2021, I raced totally underprepared and pushed myself so far beyond my physical capabilities that I collapsed at 95km (yes 95!). I was carried out of the forest on a stretcher. I legitimately thought I was going to die 😬.

In 2020, I smashed my race eight weeks after becoming a Dad and finished 14th overall in one of the most competitive fields ever seen.

This year, I have taken all I’ve learnt from the previous three years and applied it to what has been an absolutely quality build-up (touch wood 👉🪵).

What I’ve learnt and what I’ve changed.
