Trail running in Cornwall is amazing! See my film here youtu.be/JmuFenirpTM
If you fancy a fantastic weekend of running, food and music there, try the South West Outdoor Festival 27-29 Sept 2019 – I’ll be there giving a talk, making a film and enthusing about the incredible scenery! bit.ly/SWOF19WGR
One of my fave multi-day races is the Druid’s Challenge along the Ridgeway by XNRG, I’ve done it twice and it’s great, see my live playlist here to get an idea of the terrain and what it’s like. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyZ16LRfpz0D0CMD9gG_eJVzw7qjxhHab
Have a good old chuckle at me in this very early YouTube film I made about trail mix youtu.be/2WWmq7aWHs4 and also have a crack at making Anita Bean’s energy balls in this playlist here: bit.ly/Nutrition4TrailRuns
This is adapted from Anita Bean’s recipe book (my fave) the Runner’s Cook Book which has over 100 ace recipes that I wish she’d come round every night and make for me…

The best small budget pack is the Aonijie 5L running pack

The best larger capacity budget pack is the Aonijie 10L running pack

The Decathlon Kalenji Trail Running pack from Decathlon is also good, and only £28 but I prefer the features on the Aonijie
