I’ve no excuse after my hip recent operation. Here’s my dad at 86 who’s also had a hip replacement and is kitted up in his Ev75 gear doing his bit for the @communityactionepal Everest Stair Challenge 2020.

Wishing ultra-runner, Sabrina Verjee, the very bes

Wishing ultra-runner, Sabrina Verjee, the very best of luck! We’re extremely proud to be supporting and fuelling her latest MONSTER challenge!!!

At 3.00am on Monday 6th July Sabrina Verjee set off from Moot Hall Keswick attempting to visit all 214 Wainwright summits as fast as possible. The 39-year-old veterinary surgeon, based in Ambleside, will run 525 km non-stop, starting and finishing in Keswick and ascending a total of 36,000m (118,000ft). The 214 mountains and hills are featured in Alfred Wainwright's seven-volume book set 'A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'.

The current record was set in 2019 by Paul Tierney in a time of six days and six hours.

Prior to that, in 2014 Steve Birkinshaw completed the challenge in six days and thirteen hours and in 1987 Joss Naylor set it at seven days, one hour and 25 minutes.

If Sabrina completes the Wainwright challenge it is believed she will be the only female athlete to have done so.

Coronavirus has brought an additional element to this challenge with respect to the support team and logistics, so unlike her predecessors Sabrina will have to make do with minimal support.

For the reasons stated above we request that anyone wishing to support or meet Sabrina on the hill does not do so on this occasion. The same applies for finishing in Keswick. Instead you may enjoy the dot watching entertainment from the comfort of your own home.

You can track Sabrina Live here https://live.opentracking.co.uk/sabs0720/

[please note that on Day 1 when Sabrina drops down in to Borrowdale the tracker will drop out of signal - its no drama and will pop back up again and will backfill the route she has taken].

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Monday could see the start of me running again 🤞

I got the call two weeks ago for my right hip replacement. I have to admit I'm a little bit nervous in case it doesn't go as well as I hope. But as many of you know I LOVE to run, I'm happy to run on any terrain but love being in the hills, every run is an adventure, the views, the weather (the gnarlier the better), the company, the locations...I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed, I can't wait to get back on it!

But, and it's a big BUT, there is also a part of me that knows I might not be able to run again as I did in the hills... that would be tough, damn, that will be really tough, hell, there could even be a few tears shed... but here's another big BUT, I also know how lucky I am. I live in the most magical place on earth, surrounded by mountains, lakes, woodlands and an abundance of green space that I will still be able to enjoy... be it walking, cycling, crawling whatever it takes and I'll do that enjoying the company of my amazing family and friends.

My op is being done through our fantastic NHS service (as were my other 2 hip ops) a service that is like no other in the world, and should be treasured. I might not be able to run yet but I can encourage others to. So, I've set up a Virtual Race series to raise money for the NHS Charities Together. If you'd like to enter or know of any runners, please share.

Tomorrow, on July 4th, Mountain Fuel ambassador Damian Carr will be attempting the Ridgeway National Trail (and Back) FKT!!! 💥💥

The Ridgeway National Trail is an ancient trackway described as Britains oldest road.

The aim of the challenge is to complete the Ridgeway national trail and then back. Total of 172 miles.

Damian explains: "I was a late starter into the running world, growing up for me was all about footie and table tennis. I remember one time after a race someone said to me "you don't look like a runner, more like a European footballer" (whatever that is) did make me laugh. I found my passion for running after serving in Iraq with the British army. Running was like an escape, since then I just love everything about running. I don't really specialise in a certain field. It's more like any surface any distance with me. I just love running, whether its 5k on the track or a 24hr off-road race.

Fuel for the challenge - got to start the morning off in style:-) strong black coffee and MF morning fuel. Might have a banana too if I don't sleep in.
During the run I will use MF Raw drink and the jellies every hour then later on in the run I will get some solids down me. Mix of savoury and sweet foods, example pancakes, sweet potatoes, avocados, peanut butter sandwiches.
Also I will have an army ration pack meal at half way (something to look forward to) 🥳

How I mentally prepare myself - Don't really have any tips or secret recipe for this. I just LOVE running 😘

After the challenge - Relax for a couple of days, well thats if my little boy allows that lol he loves his football at the moment.

---

The Mountain Fuel team want to wish Damian the VERY best of luck with his challenge!!!.

In his own words:
“I completed a ‘Big boy run’ today: 2 laps of the #yorkshiredalesthreepeaks in what I'm pretty sure is a record time for the double!! Felt decent but the weather was pretty wet.
Powered by 18 @mountainfuel_uk sports jellies.”.
