He had a free entry for that. Unless Sealskinz finally saw sense and dumped him. Cant see him being able to run 70 miles, though over two days is easy
Sealskinz are happy to announce our first ever Trailblazer duo of Bernadette Butfield and Dave Reading They will be competing in the Round the Island 2017 - Sealskinz Ultra Trail Series.
Dave qualified as an official Sealskinz Trailblazer® with his story...and video.
Sealskinz have selected its first ever Trailblazers to complete the 70 mile 'Round The Island' challenge alongside World Champion and Sealskinz Athlete Claire Steels. Bernadette Butfield (23) and Dave Reading (49) have been hand picked to run the flagship Sealskinz Ultra Trail Series Race which is ran in partnership with XNRG. Both Sealskinz Trailblazers will be capturing every step of training before their 'Round The Island' Ultra. Dave and Bernadette will also share their nutrition tips, kit preferneces and motivational techniques with us to show how they prepare to do something extreme and take on the highly popular Ultra Marathon.
Dave is an ex-serviceman and father of 8 from Dereham, Norfolk and started running in 2014 as a means to get fit and kick his 60 cigarette a day habit. Sir Mo Farah is a huge inspiration to Dave, with the two sharing a 2 mile run in Birmingham. Mo continued to motivate Dave on the run saying that "if you want to achieve something you can, if you train for it". Watch Dave's application video below.
