Matt Whyman competed in the Thames Path 100 Centurion and said: “I crossed the starting mat in the pouring rain at 8am, trying not to think of the enormity of the undertaking ahead.
“With a 28 hour time limit, I joined 250 fellow runners on a unique journey through town and country.
“My wife and daughter worked tirelessly, moving from one crew point to the next to make sure I was fuelled and hydrated.
“At 75 miles, around 2am, HJ’s Emma Walters took up pacing duties. I didn’t think I was capable of a sub-24hr finish, which is the benchmark in 100 mile ultras, but she pushed me through to make it over the line in time.
