Lambourn Valley Way - Unsupported FKT

The Hebridean Way - Solo & unsupported

The Hebridean Way for #MuddyMilesforMegs plus achieving the first (known) Fastest Known Time (FKT) unsupported in 3 days, 17 hours and 57 minutes covering a total of 253.35 km (Strava stats are a tad generous!).

Running and adventuring are what I find myself doing to allow time to myself to think, assess and take action over things in my mind. This run was therefore dedicated and in memory of our beautiful Megs - she was a trooper, and was always Henry and I’s biggest cheerleader when it came to us trail running together, so this challenge just seemed the most apt. I hope you enjoyed the journey Megs, it was a spectacular one, beautiful scenery, wildlife and some wet as bogs. Thank you for showing your presence in so many ways, it made me feel so close to you.

The preparation for this was long, challenging and all round great. I got to eat lots, I got to spend time in beautiful places prancing around and I most importantly, got to spend invaluable time with the people I love and value most. Predominantly, thank you to Beth Whittaker and Henry Batten for being there, thick and thin, training all together, airing our minds, bodies and souls out on the trails. You are my rocks and will be eternally grateful for every minute I got to spend with you both preparing for this. 

Lastly, thank you all to whom have donated. A significant amount of money has been raised for Bipolar UK and I’m overwhelmed by this support from everyone. Let’s fight this disorder, get talking and save lives. 

Big loves,
James 💚
