Coast to Coast, ultra run
The journey of 7 women from 7 countries completing an incredible coast to coast adventure. Crossing from Dubai to the Oman Coast in just four days, the runners completed an exhausting 180km – the equivalent of running four marathons in four days. Battling bustling cities, dangerous mountains and intense desert heat.
“The number of impressions and emotions exceed the four days we have had. More than your regular four days anyway.”
From zero to ultra within a year
Nine months I hadn’t been able to run. June 30 2017 I broke my ankle and tore my ligaments, which put me in a wheelchair and on crutches for about half a year.
March 2018 I was finally able to start running again. Normally I wouldn’t bother lacing up for just a few kilometers. Now I am happy with whatever I am allowed to do. Five times one minute of running it is.
