Sometimes back-of-the pack runners have stories to tell that are just as good (if not better) than elite runners, and Luci Friend demonstrates this perfectly. Having several ultra DNFs to her name (and only one official ultra finish) didn't stop her taking on the South Downs Way 100 miles race in the UK this June. She not only finished but wasn't last - just! We hope everyone will find inspiration from her "why not give it a go" attitude. With the usual wrap-up by Jenny and Michael
