Kelp and FernThis is Paul Youd, an 87 year old vegan ultra-runner that I had the honour of documenting his latest ultra-marathon adventure, 50km around the city of Bath! You read that right, 87 years old, VEGAN and smashing ultras! He was supported by <a class="u-url mention" href="https://pixelfed.social/runningonplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@runningonplants</a> and their team and everyone made it to the finish line, inspired by Paul and his story! Make sure to check out their wonderful organisation. A film will be in the works of this adventure to watch at www.youtube.com/@kelpandfern in the coming weeks and you'll learn more about Paul and why he went vegan and how he got in to running later on in life. Stories like this are supported by members and small donations from people like you and I am proud that Kelp and Fern is not sponsored or supported by brands which means that I can document stories exactly like this, which otherwise wouldn't happen.

MichelleBeautiful ride yesterday. Did I look wistfully at runners out for their long run as I rode? Yes! But I took solace in the fact that I would be back at it today. Two weeks since my 67.5km adventure, I am kicking off another block. A 50km official race in August and then taper for another crack at 80km. It felt so good to be out running today that I welled up cresting the first rise. Heading into this block with a few new tricks - reviewing and revising my nutrition. Working my way through two recipe books, testing them out on my belly: I had pickle juice on today's run! Going to bring back cycling as my x-training. Not doing triathlon since the start of the pandemic means I cycle less and that's to my detriment. Going to rectify that this block. Felt good to be out there today on legs that road yesterday. Excited for this block and another crack at breaking 80km! <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/SeenOnMyRide?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeenOnMyRide</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/BikeRide?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeRide</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Cycling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Run?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Run</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/UltraRunning?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UltraRunning</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/RunFar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunFar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/GetOutside?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GetOutside</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/UltraRunner?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UltraRunner</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/MondayMotivation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MondayMotivation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Running?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Running</a>
