Cat Simpson and Dan Lawson have won the South Downs Way 2024, part of the Gran Canaria World Trail Majors.

The day after the Endurance Life Sussex, the ultra for me and the 10 kilometers for Sara, we're out for a walk.

Tears roll down my eyes when I cross the finish line and fall into Sara’s arms. I’ve done it. I made it. My first ultra.

One more night to my first ultra run, here in Sussex, England. Should I come up with a race plan, or just run?

3 more nights to my first ultra run. We’re staying close to the Seven Sisters, the series of chalk cliffs on the coast.

No training today. The day is over, before it began. Sometimes you have those days. Horrible, but true.

I’ve been talking about my first ultra in Sussex, but I don’t think I’ve ever told you when and why I signed up.
