-I'm a television presenter, -an adventurer and runner. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |

-..but this time, -I'm taking on Wales! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
-After a two-year-break from -ultra marathons to raise a family... | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
-..the desire to challenge myself -is stronger than ever! | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
-My next challenge... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-..is an ultra marathon from -Llanberis to Wales's highest peak... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
-..and finishing the day -at the foot of Cader Idris. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-It's followed by two days -and 100 miles to Pen y Fan. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-The tougher the challenge, -the sweeter the victory! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-I'll do it alongside some of the -country's best endurance athletes. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
-Three ultras in three days is nuts! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-There's something about her -and she has this inner strength. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
-Lowri has something special. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-She doesn't give up. -She's a machine! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-Would I complete the 150 miles? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-I didn't know. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
-But I was going to do -my very best... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-..to run three peaks, -three ultra marathons in three days! | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
-The 3/3/3. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
-An ultra marathon covers a distance -of over 32 miles. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
-Day one covered 50 miles from -Llanberis to Snowdon's summit... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-..to Beddgelert and Dolgellau before -reaching the foot of Cader Idris. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
-Dawn broke on day one -and I was raring to go. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-I couldn't shake -the doubts in my mind... | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
-..after having a heavy cold -in recent weeks. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-It's the morning of the challenge. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-Am I nervous? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
-Of course I am! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-MOBILE PHONE | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-Um, that's my phone. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-It's Dad calling -to wish me good luck. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-Hi, Dad. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
-Hearing from my family -always gets my blood flowing. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-They know that despite the nerves -and dark times... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-..that this makes me happy. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Running and being with family -makes me feel alive. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-Yes, I'm ready to start now. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-MOBILE PHONE | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
-That's my husband phoning now! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-Hi, Sion. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-I've been incredibly lucky... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-..to have competed -in the world's toughest races. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-People ask how I ended up -doing all these adventures. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-I'm very proud of my answer. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-I think it's down to my upbringing -and the fact that I'm Welsh. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
-My family nurtured me -but I was shaped by Wales. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-This is a country that is an -incredible adventure playground... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
-..but I don't know half of it... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-..so I'm about to fulfil -a lifelong dream. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-Be kind to me, dear Wales! | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-This wasn't meant to be -a competitive race. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-I didn't want to be -restricted by time. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-This was an adventure and -an opportunity to enjoy the paths... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-..with others -who use the Welsh landscape... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..as their adventure playground. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-Owen Roberts -was the first to join me. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-The successful, young runner -had just returned from training... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-..with world famous -distance runners. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-And he was going to run with me. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-I trained with some -of the best athletes in the world. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-You trained with my hero, -David Roche. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-Yes, I went there and ran with him, -which was an incredible experience. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
-Did they welcome you as a Welshman? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
-Yes, they knew all about Wales -and were very kind to me. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
-Right, OK. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
-Are you ready? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
-Are you ready? - -Yes, ready. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
-You'll be like a mountain goat -and I'll be more of an elephant! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-I knew that the first climb to -Wales's highest summit would hurt. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:01 | |
-The pain was immediate as my legs -were heavy and I was overheating. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
-The magnitude of the challenge -started to hit home. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-For the first time... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-..I started to question whether or -not I could complete the 150 miles. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-It was such a relief -to see the Halfway House Cafe. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-The support there was amazing. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-It was very encouraging. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-And gradually... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
-..the rhythm of our steps -became a form of hypnosis. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
-I stopped thinking about -the challenge in its entirety. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-I simply focused on the next step. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-Yeah! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
-Well done. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
-Well done. - -Thank you. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
-It was a shock to the system. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-That cold had affected me. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
-I'm feeling alright now. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
-I've reached the summit -so it's all downhill now. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
-The best way to describe it -is a roller coaster of emotions. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-We've completed the highest summit. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-Yes, and it was within our time -of an hour and 30 minutes. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-I'm happy with that. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
-As we raced down -towards Llyn Cwellyn... | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-..I appreciated -that incredible feeling... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-..of conquering Snowdon. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-You look back -and see how far you've come. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-That emotion never changes. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-There's something magical -about that mountain. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
-Wow! | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
-I feel honoured -to be able to do this. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-Owen didn't break a sweat. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
-Owen didn't break a sweat. - -I don't know about that! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-You can cope with the heat after -being in Kenya three weeks ago. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
-We ran to the top -in an hour and 20 minutes... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-..and took 45 minutes to get down -which is brilliant. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-It's great to have someone -by your side. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-They make the miles just fly by. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-I didn't want to rush -or overrun it... | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-..because I need to get -to the end of it. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-I can't think -of a better running partner. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-That's the first stage over. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-The first peak has been done. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
-I've done ten miles and have 150 -to go but I can't think like that. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
-I'll just focus on -one stage at a time. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-Goodbye! | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
-As Snowdon -faded into the distance... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-..I was full of confidence -and sped to Beddgelert... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-..to meet the inspirational athlete, -Malcolm Jones. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-I've known Malcolm for many years... | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-..and interviewed him -for the Snowdonia Marathon. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-I find his story -truly inspirational. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-He has survived -many serious illnesses... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-..but has turned it all around... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
-..and is one of the best athletes -in his age range in Britain. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-It's quite a story. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-I was diagnosed -with cancer 25 years ago... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
-..but I survived! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-In the same year -of having my treatment... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-..I completed the Snowdon Race. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-I felt privileged to do it -that year. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-I was glad to have done it. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
-Right, here we go! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
-I think Lowri's challenge -is incredible. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-I've run a marathon in a day but -she has three consecutive marathons. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
-I take my hat off to her. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-Beddgelert was glorious. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-We ran alongside the river... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
-..and the conversation -with Malcolm was flowing. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-I was trying to get some tips -about his secrets. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-Even when -you were fighting cancer... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-..did you still have that desire -to go out running? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yes, I did. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
-I had to travel quite a distance -to go for my treatment. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
-I asked them if I could have -my treatment in the morning. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
-The reason for this was because -I'd take my trainers with me... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-..so that I could go running in the -afternoon but they wouldn't let me! | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
-I'm sure it helped you. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
-Yes, it gave me something else -to think about... | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-..as opposed to the treatment -and going home to rest. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-He really boosted my confidence -if I'm totally honest. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-After giving birth to Gwilym... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-..a lot of people had told me... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-..that I wouldn't be able to run -as I had done in the past. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-But he said -that anything is possible. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-I remember his stories... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-..and the way he overcame his -personal problems and challenges. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-I have a lot of respect for him. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-You've got older -but haven't stopped. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-I think that sets -an excellent example to us all. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
-I am slower than I once was. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-I tend to do triathlons or duathlons -which does help my knees. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
-I couldn't do two to three hours of -training on the mountains at my age. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-I've had to learn -that when my leg starts to hurt... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-..that it's one of the signs -to tell me to stop. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-But when something gets better... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-..and I get to go out again... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
-..there's a great sense of relief -that I am able to do it again. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-The mind is a powerful thing. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-It's two things. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
-The legs and the mind. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
-I'm a strong believer in those. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-You're a friend for life, thank you. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-I appreciate it. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
-You're an inspiration. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
-I'm halfway through it now... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
-..and it's turning into -a game of psychology. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-I've started counting down the miles -but there's still a long way to go. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
-I'm trying not to think about it. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-Thank you, Malcolm! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
-I really admire her. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-The section we've just completed -was only small... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-..when compared with what -she had done before we met... | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-..but she's doing well. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-If she continues at this rate, -then she'll do it in three days. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
-Malcolm's diligence is his strength. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-I left the Oakeley Arms -full of determination. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-I'd done 26 miles and only had the -distance of another marathon to go. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
-I'm passing through areas -that are full of history. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
-They give me a new lease of life... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
-..and I'm feeling strong. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
-There are also some paths -that are very beautiful... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-..and inspire me for a few miles. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
-It's a great way to see the area. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
-If I had any negative thoughts, then -I wouldn't complete the challenge. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
-I had to stay positive. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-A phone call to home -was a huge boost to my spirits. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-After that, I was left on my own... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-..just me and my thoughts... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-..finding clarity. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |

-After 36 miles of feeling great... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-..the positivity -turned to negativity. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-The rain and fog -descending over Coed y Brenin... | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-..took my spirits with them. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-I was tired and getting cold. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-I had to remind myself of -the reasons behind this challenge. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-I was raising money for the charity, -Cerebra... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-..teaching my son -to follow his dreams... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-..and the importance -of taking those small steps. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-It was at that moment... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-..I realized that by putting -one foot in front of the other... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
-..I was one step closer -to Cader Idris. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-But first, at Coed y Brenin... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-..I was meeting the former mountain -bike champion, Sian Roberts... | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
-..in her own adventure playground. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-I'm tired, Sian -so I need some inspiration. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-That's fine. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |
-One ultra is more than enough... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-..but three ultras on three -consecutive days is incredible! | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
-It's just brilliant. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-Lowri's the only one -who would try it! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
-The switch has been flicked -and the mind is carrying it all now. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-I'm worrying about tomorrow... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-..when I should be focusing -on the next mile. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-Focus on the small sections -and think about today. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-I'm so excited to have your company. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-Sian has raced bikes professionally -around the world... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-..and run for Wales... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
-..so I knew that she could totally -empathize with how I was feeling. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:54 | |
-I started running -in the early 1980s... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-..in local races -and local mountain races... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-..with the Eryri Harriers -and the Hebog Runners. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-I represented Wales -in mountain races... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-..but I injured my hip -and I couldn't run... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-..so I started on the mountain bike. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
-I got involved in the sport -as it developed in Britain... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-..and was successful. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
-You were fifth in Europe. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
-You were fifth in Europe. - -Yes, I was fifth in Europe. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-I won the British Championships -a few times too... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-..and I was the downhill champion. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-Yes, it was great. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
-It was brilliant. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
-I did all my training in this area -when I was racing. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
-At that time, we were the only -people who cycled at Coed y Brenin. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-Coed y Brenin is really busy -with mountain bikers. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-It has five signed trails. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-There's also trails for runners. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-This was the first -mountain bike trail centre... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-..and the first -running trail centre. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-Running can be a constant battle -with yourself. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-You fight against the little voice -that is telling you to stop. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
-Sometimes, it all gets too much. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-Talking to Sian -made the thoughts disappear. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-I'm starting to feel my muscles... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-..and they are screaming at me! | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
-I'm not surprised. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
-How many miles have you run today? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
-How many miles have you run today? - -I've done 38 miles. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-Wow! Well done! | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
-I'm going through -a roller coaster of emotions. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-I can believe that. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
-A minute ago, -I was feeling great and then bang! | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-It just hits you. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
-It just hits you. - -Yes, it smothers me. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
-It was great at Coed y Brenin... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
-..to literally bump into -some other runners. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
-I heard why they ran... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
-..and of their love of running in a -group which is something I don't do. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
-How many miles will you do tonight? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-Despite the varying levels -of fitness found within the group... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
-..they all ran together -and enjoyed it. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-I think that's the story of running. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-It's the comradery you get -with running. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-I get a real buzz -from going out and running. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-I've made friends and travelled -the world for various races. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-It's enriched my life. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-I'm very lucky to live in this area. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-I can still go out and enjoy it. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-Is it getting any easier? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
-I always found that -when I was doing the long stages... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-..I struggled at the start -but found my stride after a while. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-I'm thinking about -tomorrow's 60 miles. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-I need to remember the time -that I did 60 miles before... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-..when my legs were tired. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
-Training means nothing -compared to mental power. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
-By this point, -I was ignoring the fatigue... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-..and even in the rain... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-..running through Coed y Brenin with -Sian was a wonderful experience. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
-It's been lovely to meet you. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-How long have we had? -Was it eight miles? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-It's flown! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:21 | |
-It's downhill to Dolgellau. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-We put the world to rights. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
-We put the world to rights. - -Yes, that happens with two women! | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-I've never met Lowri before -and she's lovely. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
-This challenge of three ultras -in three days is nuts! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
-She's mentally strong. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
-How are the legs? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
-How are the legs? - -They are fine but my back hurts. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-I'd started to get my second wind... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-..but was getting cold -because of the rain. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-I had also suffered with a bad cold. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-As we approached Dolgellau... | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-..people started telling me that -it was best to sleep in a hotel... | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
-..and not a bivy as I'd planned. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
-Thank you, Sian. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-Thank you, Dafydd. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
-The fact that -she's taken antibiotics... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-..means that the body -is trying to fight two things. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
-It's fighting the cold, the cough -and she's running this distance... | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
-..so it's best -if she spends the night in a hotel. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-If she doesn't take this advice... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
-..it could jeopardize the challenge -as the body won't have time to rest. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
-Night started to fall -and I was feeling frustrated. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-My legs weren't moving quick enough. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-I'd lost too much time. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-Phil from the support team -joined me for a while. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
-Despite all this -and even after covering 47 miles... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
-..I was confident of facing -those three difficult miles... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
-..towards Cader Idris. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-How are you feeling? | 0:20:04 | 0:20:04 | |
-How are you feeling? - -I'm fine. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-Yes. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
-Are you going to stay -in the hotel tonight? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Do you think I should? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
-Do you think I should? - -Yes, I do. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
-This was a very difficult decision -for me. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
-I wanted this to be -a real adventure... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-..without taking any shortcuts -by sleeping in a hotel. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-They didn't understand my thoughts -behind this challenge. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
-I wanted to run alongside nature... | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
-..but also sleep -in the outdoors too. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-Not sleeping outside meant I would -spend the night in Dolgellau... | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
-..which was three miles away -from Cader Idris. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-I know it was only three miles... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-..but I didn't want to run -those extra three miles... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
-..on the second day which was -the longest day of the challenge. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-I think psychologically... | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-..I wanted to finish -at the foot of Cader Idris... | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-..but my problem is that I'm wet. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
-There aren't any heroics here. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-Nobody's going to give me a medal -for sleeping in a van! | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
-I took the advice of the expert -and spent the night in a proper bed. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
-I was very disappointed -and felt like I'd let myself down... | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
-..but that's the way it goes. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-I appreciate it. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
-Agreeing with Gwyn did hurt... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-..but the body is like a machine -and should be looked after... | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-..so I had to ignore my frustration. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-Today has been an incredible day. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
-It hasn't finished as I'd planned. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-All I can think about now is the -60 miles that I'm running tomorrow. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
-It's going to be quite a day... | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
-..but the way I've been -staying positive about it... | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-..is by reminding myself -of those times in the past... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-..when I've done 60 miles -on tired legs. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-There was the Amazon, -the Ring of Fire, the Arctic. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-Um... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
-I managed to do it then... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
-..and... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-..I'm sure I'll do it tomorrow. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
-It's very quiet. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-The games are playing with my head. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-I'm losing patience. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-If tomorrow is anything like today, -then I won't finish in three days. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-I'm serious! | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
