1 mile to go, theyāre covering it on BBC Breakfast. He looked pretty broken at the end of the last leg. Couldnāt speak to the reporter and had to be pretty much lifted into the motorhome.

I must be going soft in my old age, I was welling up watching the Eddie Kid tribute last week and now watching Rob Burrow see his daughter cross the line with Kevin at the end of the 101 miles.

Absolutely brilliant watching that this morning.
He picked the coldest of days and nights to do it 
Ali Brownlee jogging a section with him, too.
Just a brilliant story this one 
7kmh doesnāt sound quick, but just do that 24 times over

Thatās the tricky bit. Going past your camp every hour, knowing you can just quit. Getting demotivated at night.
That was a great effort by Kevin. 
Yeah, I get that the backyard proper is mentally hard due to that.
Kev just broke it up into 7km sections, to cope, I guess.
He ran from Leicester to Leeds.
Thatās a massive distance on the M1/A1(M)
So running it is just

Yeah Iāve never done a proper Back Yard. (would like to). Endure 24 is the closest I have to compare.
I canāt post links, but Salomon running have a new short film out about Kilian Jornet running a vertical km.
Kilian Jornet running in his natural habitat is always great to watch!

Fascinating to see him in bits at the end of that run and looking a bit less like superman and looking a bit more like me (albeit I look like that after running up the stairs at work)

Ultra Trail Cape Town is taking place tomorrow. Some big names there, although I kind of feel they didnāt get the memo to leave the country. Daniela Ryf, Jan Frodeno etc are in Cape Town too at the moment and theyāve just posted theyāre leaving immediately. Maybe America isnāt stopping/limiting flights from South Africa. 
Anyway, the event is being streamed on YT

Had anyone tried the Bridgedale socks? Sister is asking me for Xmas ideas. The Hilly Ultra Mono is my go to but happy to try others
Iāve got two pairs that I bought, I dunno, must be ten years ago and theyāre still my go to for winter cycling. Theyāre great socks.
