As I get older I realise that I have an impulsive side but that was the summit of Mount Impulse, I spent no time at base camp perusing the foothills, plotting my route at all. “Hi, I’m here to scale Mount Impulse… yeah training, correct clothing, people fall or freeze to death, blah blah blah, screw it,  see you in a bit. The top is this way right?”

In 2014 I ran every day for a year, yes 365 days, but before we get into that, it is probably worth giving you a little bit of an insight into why I think my challenge happened at all.
