Highlights of 2020
2020 has been a very tough year for everyone with one of the key words ‘unprecedented.’ It will be a year we will all remember for the wrong reasons!
Thankfully though there have been highlights that we can hopefully look back on with joy. My wife and I welcomed our 7th grandchild with hearts full of love.
The vast majority of running races have been cancelled this year but ‘virtual’ races have replaced them and the running community does what it does best – keeps on running!
So now is a good time to reflect on this year and see what we have learnt and what we can be thankful for.
In Episode 19 of Run to the Hills my co-host and I were joined by Chia Charge’s director Tim Taylor. We shared our highlights of the year under three headings
- Family
- Work
- Running
It was encouraging to reflect on the positives of this year and there were many!
We at Run to the Hills and Chia Charge would like to wish you a very merry Christmas and we are all hoping for a more normal 2021!

“Ultra marathons are just an eating and drinking competition with a little bit of running thrown in”
A very wise Ann Trason once said that “ultra marathons are just an eating and drinking competition with a little bit of running thrown in” and I couldn’t agree more, which is one of the main reasons I got into the sport in the first place. I love food.
The biggest breakthroughs for me in ultrarunning have always come through a direct progression with my race food. Everyone is different, some surviving on pork pies alone, others chomping through 40-50 gels in a 100 mile race.
