My happy place after an exhausting 29.5 hours, walking the 100km Thames Path from Putney to Henley.
It was such a relief to rest my feet and receive a 10 min massage. Therapists were available at both the 50km and 100km marks, and I made sure to take full advantage of their expertise.
The Thames Path Ultra Challenge offers participants the chance to walk or run various distances along the scenic Thames River, with options ranging from 25km to 100km.
These events are brilliantly organized, with teams of amazing people to support you along the way. I’m always in awe of how seamlessly they run, despite the vast number of participants.
You also get to meet some fabulous people along the way. We hit the jackpot during the night stretch, meeting a gentleman named Dee. We walked together, supporting each other until daylight, keeping our spirits high and making those toughest hours feel lighter.
If you are considering setting yourself a challenge, there are so many events to participate in. So, start small and give it a go, you’ll be amazed what you can achieve. But be warned, these events are addictive! I’m calling it a day on any challenge with triple digits, but I’ll be searching for my next one soon.
I wish you luck and here to help you with treatments both before and after the event.
Love Kirsty
