I’m doing these Q&As weekly now so please do share this with all your running friends so they can ask me questions. I am a qualified Personal Trainer and edited Trail Running magazine for 7 years. If I don’t know the answer to my question I can definitely find an expert who will!

This week’s Q&A covers these excellent questions from my YouTube audience:

  • How can you train for mountain ultras when you live in a flat place? (at 0:46)
  • What budget packs (at 3:01) and trekking poles (at 4:03) do I recommend?
  • Are all ultras for mountain goats? (at 5:12 I recommend some easier ones!)
  • PLUS! What to do with your race memorabilia – 2 great ideas for medals and t-shirts (at 9:04) For how to make my Mum’s amazing beanbag click here

All part of my NEW weekly Q&A series for runners on Wild Ginger Films YouTube channel.
