The Trig Challenge – Catharine Crossley
When I hit low points, I remind myself of why I love to run
“What did you do at the weekend”? That’s a familiar discussion heard in most work places on a Monday morning. My response the Monday after my Trig Challenge – “I ran 60 miles in torrential rain, whilst struggling to remain upright. It was a day I will never forget.”
To many people running any sort of distance in torrential weather conditions may seem like complete self-torture or just plain mad. I think it’s a bit of both . When people refer to ultra-runners as mad, I think of the Alice and Wonderland quote;
“The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad? Alice: I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”
Background
2020 was the year of race cancellations. Without having something to train for, I lacked the motivation to lace up my trainers.
