How To Run 50 Miles
Reece Parkinson again attempts an ultra marathon, shortly after his type 1 diabetes diagnosis. It stopped him first time around, but has he now learned to manage his condition?
Following on from How Not to Run 55 Miles, where Reece Parkinson was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just weeks before his first ultra marathon, Reece is back to finally take on his first ultra. He's now got a better understanding of his condition and found a new race, a rugged and brutal 50-mile course around a MOD training area in a remote part of mid-Wales.
Reece wants to prove he can do it regardless of diabetes, which he says left him "emasculated". Can he push his body and mind to the absolute limit just months after being diagnosed with a life changing condition?
