Past Challenges

This page deliberately starts with my past challenges because I want to show you how I plan and progress in my challenges and races. So enjoy scrolling through my previous challenges and upcoming plans. You’ll see that my upcoming adventures go beyond the next few years. This is because you have to train consistently and many years in order to be able to attempt and finish these ultra endurance events in a healthy and sustainable way.
