Tom Palacio: The rugby player set to run a 50 mile ultra in memory of his friend
Tom Palacio is preparing to complete a 50 miles ultra to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.
Tom is aiming to run the distance in less than 12 hours on July 16 after his friend, James Pullen died from the disease in 2015.
Along with his friends he has previously raised more than £20,000 for research into brain tumours.
Rugby player Tom's experience of running had previously been largely reserved for training runs to boost his fitness for the sport, but when lockdown hit he couldn't take part in charity matches any more so turned to running.
He ran his first marathon during the pandemic, and is now set to undertake his biggest challenge to date.
Running Tales caught up with Tom to find out how he's been preparing...
