The final day of the North Coast 500

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of the day my challenge came to an unexpected end. It’s a raw reflection on pain, pride, and the internal battles that unfold when things don’t go to plan. I open up about the physical and emotional toll of endurance, the moment I had to let go, and the strength it takes to stop. This isn’t the story I wanted to tell, but it’s one I needed to. If you’ve ever wrestled with the weight of your own expectations, this one’s for you.

Day 1 of the North Coast 500 Attempt

Kicking off my attempt to run the entire North Coast 500, Day 1 starts long before sunrise with very little sleep, a lot of rain, and some stunning sights. I talk through the early nerves, the plan (and loo schedule), settling into the 26:4 rhythm, and how special Bealach Na’ Bà is to me . Expect wind, sheep-related distractions, and a day that went nearly all to plan.
