When is your next race/event? And is your training makey-upy as you go along? Or have you got a specific plan you follow? And if it is makey-upy, how far in advance do you makey-upy what you are going to do?

When did you start your planning for Sparta - or did it just fall into place when you knew you could run a Q-Time?
Had you previously attempted a Q-time or was it just a natural progression from your other long distance events?......spartatlon was always in my concioussnes even before I started running,as i had saw it on tv and had read about it ..it was the race u did and only got a sup of water an an olive leaf wen u finished,,wen I did a race in a Athens a few years ago,I made friends with a greek runner and he invited me me to come over and do sparta,I had qualifier from a 48 hr race(has since been changed ),and had Been loosely kinda plannin on goin this year on next,.

Of the other numerous events you have done - especially the multi-day - how well / ill-prepared did these events make you for Greece?.... d 48hr races certainly gave me a bit of confidence knowing I cud keep goin ,though there is nuting to prepare u for sparta other than doing it.it was defo way harder than I expected it especially the last 50 k

Your training was massive - I can barely make out what you were doing from your log. The result in Greece speaks for itself - but knowing what you know now is there any aspect to your training that you would improve / ignore / omit etc?....wud probly only add a few more longer hilly runs with steep hands and knee type climbs at the end

Did anything in The event, before - during - after, make you 2nd guess the choice you made to go there, at any point did you feel you were out of your depth?....was a bit weird meetin people that uv read about,Eddie g knew everybody and i was introduced to loads of people iv heard of and former winners .I was chattin to the eventual winner,Ivan cudin,just as the whistle went for the start,.,didn't feel out of my depth though I did feel quite lucky to be lining up with some of the best ultrarunners in world

Last one, for now:

Do you feel "special" for having done something that most would consider mental - not in an "I'm better than you" way, but have you nice sense of achievement that YOU put in the effort and YOU got the finish. ..........I don't feel special or anything like dat and have been thinking of a n answer for the past couple of days,I feel contented on a job well done ,I put a lot of trainin in and Sacrificed a bit and am happy Enuf that came together

So you went to the dentist instead of Bernie after all that coke

An amazing performance, deserves a lot more recognition!

Firstly well done - That is some achievement.
I remember running with you for a while in Portumna 100k 2013 - I think you were getting your qualifying time there - you ran under 10:00:00 I think.
What I recall most is how steady your pace was.
When did you start your planning for Sparta - or did it just fall into place when you knew you could run a Q-Time?

Again, great achievement - enjoy the respite - see you for the Donadea 250km next year?
