  5. Ultra Loop Wythenshawe

On Saturday Paul Edwards embarked on an epic challenge, completing the Ultra Loop in Wythenshawe. Participants have 6 hours to run around the track and complete as many laps as possible within the time. Paul had a fantastic run, achieving 9th place, after covering 150 laps of the track equalling 62k or 38.57miles.

Paul has described this as the ‘hardest running event’ he has ever done as he struggled with cramp following 28 miles and had to have some walking breaks. Although the race was repetitive, the other runners supported each other and provided encouragement.

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
