My name is Toni Metcalfe I am a mum of three children and I also have a passion for running. Not just any running but Ultra running. An Ultra run is defined by any distance over a marathon (42.2kms) but is usually much longer and on mountainous terrain. My last race was 100 miles long and across the south of England countryside.

My passion for running began 3 years ago after having my 3rd child I had fallen into the trap of over eating and not exercising and my weight ballooned to the point i found simple things like taking my kids to the pool tiring.
I knew something had to change so I strapped on some running shoes on and got out the door. My first target was simple... to do 1 loop of my compound (1.3km) without stopping. It took me about 3 weeks of trying to achieve this goal and I just kept lengthening my distance goal and watching what I was eating and my weight started to decrease and distance started to increase. I then did something I never thought I would do.. enter a marathon... the Dubai marathon. Training then became a big part of my life and I loved it! I joined a running club.. the Abu Dhabi Striders and loved it even more. Marathon day came and I ended up running
