🏅 Medal Monday 🥉

A huge congratulations to BTR’s Harry Holmes, who finished an incredible 3rd overall at the Ultra Wales this weekend in what was his first ever 50-mile ultramarathon. What a way to step up to the distance!

Finishing on the podium behind two of the UK’s most accomplished ultra runners is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the consistent work Harry has put into his training over the past few months.

Harry is one of our coached athletes, and performances like this are built on steady, consistent work over time.

If you’re interested in coaching and would like support with your own running goals, drop us a message and we’d be happy to chat. 💚
