Ready to go the distance?
Ross Litherland is a fell runner of over 20 years. Between 2007 and 2015 he became completely engrossed by the legendary Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), finishing it four times and with one DNF. He has also completed the Traces du Duc de Savoie (TDS). These days he is still found fell racing around his local Peak District and the Lakes.
Having completed my first Ultra-Trail in 2007 and my fourth in 2015, I thought I’d finally got over my Chamonix addiction. Yet as I write this, I’m only eight weeks away from the start of the famous TDS (les Traces du Duc de Savoie - UTMB Mont Blanc). So, I'm sharing the lessons I've learned, mostly the hard way, on how to prepare for an ultra run.
