Welcome and overview of the channel and a little information about myself and my experience in running and weight loss.

Welcome to 150kg to Ultra

From an overweight, middle age man, to losing 60kg and running an Ultra Marathon within 9 months.  Disclaimer; I decided to pursue weight loss surgery to give me that head start.  However, the surgery is but one tool in the journey.  I wasn't aiming to just lose weight but also get fit.  Fast forward 18 months post surgery, I have gone from 152kg down to 83kg, brought my 5k PB from 38 minutes to 21 minutes, completed multiple Half Marathons with a PB of 1 hour and 45 minutes, completed 3 Marathons in 12 months with a 4 hour 15 minute PB, completed a 55km Ultra marathon and ran over 3500kms in 18 months and now own countless pairs of runners....  If you want to start a running/weight loss journey and don't know where to start, I am definitely no coach, but have real first hand experience on how to start and what to expect.  So join me and discover why I and others love running and why I wish I started sooner.
