Episode 110 – ”Don’t do what I did” – An ultra trail event in your first 6 months of running!

10 years ago Simon Johnson decided he’d had enough of going to the gym and went for a run instead. He hasn’t stopped running ever since! Within the first 6 months of running he had entered his first ultra trail event – he was/is hooked.

Running has been a great outlet for Simon’s mental health and introduced him to a bunch for awesome friends.

He also has a visual impairment which makes him legally blind – although he still manages to race around ultra marathon trails 🙂

I hope you enjoy Simon’s fascinating story as much as I did!

Simon’s Running Tips – Ease into it – don’t go to crazy. Don’t compare yourself to other people – the only person you should be racing against is yourself ( and maybe the person just in front of you 😉 )
