@mt.fuji100 Race Report 🗻 🇯🇵 170km 7000m D+ 20h 50m #7th place My 5th 100-miler featured the deepest field I’ve ever faced, packed with Japan’s best as well as top international talent. To crack the top 10, I had to be execute the gameplan well. Starting with a 5pm Friday start, the field, as expected, went out fast and I stuck to the gameplan of easy early miles, keeping calm and relaxed, reaching the first checkpoint in 28th position. The climbs started as we went into the night, and they were steep! Reaching 40-50% incline at points. Visibility was about 1 meter,the best way to decend from the ridges was swinging from tree to tree using them as breaks. Slow, technical kms followed by road section was the theme of the race. Fuelled with @aminovital_hongkong , we Formed a pack through the night which worked well, some chit chat kept things ticking along nicely. At Dawn, the halfway point, it was time to break away and push on and close on in the top 10. This happened with 40km and a lot of climbing still to go. Feeling good I kept pushing, whilst keeping one eye behind my shoulder as I knew people were not far behind. It felt like proper, tight knit racing. After the last checkpoint, last big climb running what I could overtaking 2 more runners to finish 7th, a result I am very happy with. This has been a bucket list of mine for a long time and it did not disappoint. Amazing Japanese hospitality from start to finish, and the most spectacular views. It was also great to share the experience with my @gonerunning_jointdynamics teammates and a good friend @miyabing0513 who came and helped support the team 🙏 That brings the end of a big season, ready for some downtime and cross training for May before the build for season 2026/27! @gonerunning_hk @jointdynamics @t8.run @t8.hongkong @mile27ultracoach @coros_hk @aminovital_hongkong

Happy to announce @aminovital_hongkong as my nutrition sponsor. This has been my go-to gel for quite some time both in training and on race day. Formulated with amino acids and BCAAs, they help with energy levels during and recovery after races and most importantly, they taste fantastic and sit very well on the stomach. Looking forward to trying all the product range going forward 😋 🏃‍♂️🔋 @aminovital_hongkong

We came first. Four legs. @thetrailhub Lantau70. One circuit of Lantau. Leg 1 to Leg 4 — me, @connnorhobbs , @ryan.whelan86 , @documentedmigrant — going for it, start to finish. Running for Team @umara.hk and all part of the JD/GR team. We divided up the legs where we could each do the most damage. My leg: Mui Wo to Ngong Ping. Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak. 1,400m over 14km. I went for it as I back myself as a climber. I pushed it, but was floored by @lo_rex_lo performance. Running the first leg of the winning mixed team. I thought I had him just before the top of the first big climb. Then he put 6 minutes on me in 55 minutes of running. Now — celebrations for the team. Rest and recovery and then the next races. 13 days to the inaugural Ultra Mogan by UTMB for me. 78.5km through bamboo forests. My first race in China since 2017. Season’s not done yet. 🏔 📸 @traild.a.d @t8run | @umara.hk | @gonerunning_hk | @jointdynamics

@xtrail_kenting_by_utmb 97km 4,000m D+ 9:42:04 🥉 Race Report Kenting has always been on the must visit list so when given the chance to join @utmbworldseries latest race, I was very keen to get on a plane for the short hop to Taiwan 🇹🇼. I had a solid 6 week training block for this folllowing @hk100ultra and legs felt good. There was a good mix of Asian elites on the start line for this and knew I had to race well for any chance for a podium place. After cooler weather for a few days prior, forecasts said it was going to heat up for the race, probably not playing to my advantage. It was a n interesting course with some runnable coastal paths, along with rocky river beds, which turned into a bit of a heat basin in the afternoon, not going to lie they absolutely cooked me 🍳🥵! @tkw910 took an early lead and kept the distance, and the plan of hunting down @hirokazu_nishimura26 came along nicely, however by that time @jay_jantaraboon overtook me on an uphill like he was on a leisurely Sunday morning jog in ChiangMai. Chasing him down in the heat, it was great to connect back up with the 50km runners for the last 20km and help motivate each other to the finish line, finishing in 3rd and securing a place at @utmbmontblanc CCC in 2027. Happy with the podium place and onwards and upward to the last A-race of the season in 6 weeks @mt.fuji100 🇯🇵 🏃‍♂️ 🗻 . Before then, very much looking forward to connecting with my @gonerunning_jointdynamics teammates for @peak.race and @thetrailhub ‘s LT70 relays- let’s go! Big thank you for the invitation for the race and @cocotrixxy for top notch crewing 🫡 thank always to coach @mile27ultracoach and @jointdynamics for the specific trainings and sponsors for the ongoing support @gonerunning_hk @jointdynamics @gonerunning_jointdynamics @t8.run @t8.hongkong @mile27ultracoach @coros_hk
