Katharina Hartmuth has broken the #BobGrahamRound female record, completing in 14hrs 12 minutes. Wow! 😲😮

Hi, I've written up my experience of running the Bob Graham Round last month.

Last long run done before the #BobGrahamRound attempt. Covered 53km & 4000m climbing in (just) under 12hrs which is approx target pace, over Welsh rock & grass.
320km total & 15,000m ascent for April. Will now be tapering off for a couple of weeks.

One month to go until I attempt the #BobGrahamRound! My final weekender is coming up. I've run all the legs in training, except leg 4 (Wasdale to Honister), which I'll be running on Saturday. Hoping next month I get further than Gt Gable. I'm feeling more confident than last time, with my Spine...

Recent pieces made in collaboration with Coniston Stonecraft, these will now be part of the ‘Running I’nt Fells exhibition that is being held The Armitt in Ambleside from 14th Feb.

I finished March with a loop from Keswick to Honister, then back on the 5th leg of the #BobGrahamRound. Not many views from the tops, but it was dry!
Happy with my training in March, despite 2 weeks off with illness. Ran 240km & (more importantly) climbed 12,000m of ascent. 6 weeks to go!

Imagine running 66 miles over 42 mountains with 8000m of ascent ⛰️ for 22 of 26 hours. Husband and team coming off #GreatGable Saturday teatime ⛈️ ⚡️ 🌧️ #BobGrahamRound 🏃‍♂️

Been asked to assist another runner on leg 4 (Wasdale to Honister) of their #BobGrahamRound attempt in August. That should be fun, as it is the best leg (most scenic & usually done in daylight!), but I'll have to brush up on my navigation. Good to be able to help another contender.

Had a great weekend running various bits of the ##BobGrahamRound route. Climbed Blencathra on Friday evening & tried the "parachute" descent off the summit. Then we ran legs 4&5 on Saturday & leg 2 on Sunday, bumping into others recceing the route & discussed route choices. Ran 78km & 6000m ascent.

Absolutely in awe of my amazing husband battling torrential rain 🌧️ thunderstorms ⛈️ lightning ⚡️ and a dodgy knee to complete the #BobGrahamRound in 26 hours (66 miles, 42 #LakelandPeaks and 8000m of ascent ⛰️). Chapeau! 🏃‍♂️

In this weeks newsletter we delve into my archive again and take look at another of my favourite shots, a chance encounter with two Herdwick's while photographing an endurance run in the Lake District. - giles.li/4cAXHx8

1am start, thick cloud, 0 visibility. Abso-bloody-loutely magical day out. Running at its absolute best. #fellrunning #bobgrahamround #ultrarunning
