I went to Parkrun in May 2019 asking if it was ok to walk because “I have a permanent back injury so can’t run”. I did the Lakeland Trails 55k last year and have hopefully got a couple more 50k races lined up this year

Matt Field is an inspiring ultra-runner who recently made headlines by setting a new British 24-hour running record! On August the 24th/25th, 2024, he covered an impressive 281.303 km (174.787 miles), surpassing the previous record of 277.439 km (172.292 miles) set by Robbie Britton. This achievement also set a new world lead for 2024.

What's even more remarkable is that Matt only started running two years ago. He began his journey to get healthier and lose weight and quickly progressed to ultra-running. Matt's dedication and rapid progress are truly inspiring!
