At the time it was a relatively small and niche sport. More people were bothered about 10k and marathons and it was all about speed. But ultras seemed so much friendlier, more forgiving (as you could walk parts of them) plus they were on trails and not roads in the main. One of my friends who I had run with suggested one and we were hooked. I have run over 20 now and travelled to Europe to race as well in some of the world’s biggest trail ultramarathons, including the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc which was a bucket list item for me.
