🏃‍♂️⛰️ LUDLOW RUNNERS TAKING ON THE BRECON BEACONS! ⛰️🏃‍♀️What a weekend of incredible running, big challenges, tough climbs and some fantastic achievements for our Ludlow Runners at the Andali Brecon Beacons Marathon and Ultra events! 👏James, Laura and Leah all took on the stunning but certainly challenging terrain of the Brecon Beacons, and what an adventure they had!James tackled the marathon on Saturday, describing it as a great day out with a few highs and lows. Three tough climbs, some spicy descents and plenty of adventure along the way! Despite the fog hiding some of the spectacular views, James praised the excellent organisation, friendly checkpoints and fantastic marshals. His verdict? A brilliant event and highly recommended for anyone looking to step outside their comfort zone next year. 🙌Laura took on the enormous challenge of the 80km Beacons Ultra and what a comeback! ❤️ After a lengthy spell out injured and a few wobbly runs, Laura was absolutely delighted to get this one over the finish line and rediscover her running mojo.Running alongside Adam from Running Monk, they supported each other through the highs and some particularly challenging lows, including what sounds like an endless stretch of rocky, bouldery and slippery trails in the dark! 😂Highlights included a spectacular cloud inversion from the top of Tor y Foel at sunset, a much-needed Pot Noodle at halfway (apparently a game changer! 😜) and a fantastic Ludlow Runners reunion on Pen y Fan when she bumped into James and Leah.Leah also took on the marathon and described it as absolutely brutal – the most challenging run she's ever done! She was amazed to have even made it to the start line, let alone finished, but crossed the line with a fantastic 6th female place, having been around 30th at one point! An incredible achievement. And she's already talking about coming back next year... possibly for TWO laps! 😳👏Three runners, three huge challenges and three fantastic achievements.A massive well done to James, Laura and Leah. Whether it's finding your running mojo again, pushing beyond your comfort zone or discovering just how far you can go, you are all an inspiration to the club.And a big shout-out to Andali Events for putting on such a brilliant event.That's what Ludlow Runners is all about – supporting each other, taking on challenges and making memories al#ludlowrunners🏃#breconbeaconsn#andalieventse#MarathonRunningn#Ultrarunningu#ClubPrideraRunning #ClubPride ...

Ludlow Runners is a small, friendly road and cross country running club based in South Shropshire. As well as taking part in a huge variety of running events,  we also organise two of our own races and take part in the Herefordshire & Borders Cross Country League.  We run off road in the beautiful Mortimer Forest in both summer and in winter with headtorches.  We also run around the picturesque streets of Ludlow in all seasons.  We really are a club for all ages and abilities and everyone is very welcome.
