The Lairig Ghru race is one of the beasts of Scottish running. It's a hard enough walk, from Braemar to Aviemore through the high pass of the Lairig Ghru, with ankle-snapping boulder fields and the potential for seriously bad weather, even in the height of summer.
So it seemed just the thing for Phil M to run this one. And very well he did too, with a top 30 finish and an outstanding time of 3 hours, 59 minutes and 3 seconds.
The photo shows Phil in the Rothiemurcus Forest at about the 3 hour mark. Being brutally honest, I do have to say that the leading runners did look a wee bit fresher than Phil did at this point.
