Jon at Backhouse Jones tackles “the Lap”

Many of you that attend the BACK Academy training courses will recognise Jon Myhill, an integral member of our training team.  Jon is a familiar face on many of our training sessions, both long and short. A pioneer of course design, lively host and tech whizz working tirelessly in the background to make sure the training runs smoothly. On Saturday 9 September 2023, Jon will be running his own marathon – well, to be specific –  ultramarathon as he takes part in the Lap.

The Lap was created to provide a gateway event for runners and walkers to step up to ULTRA distance, without the worry of navigation, food or exposure to really bad weather.  The course is a beautiful 75K/47 mile, fully signposted trail ultra marathon,  following some of the most stunning, runnable and best way-marked trails in The Lake District. Jon is hoping to complete it in under 14 hours, having previously competed in a longer event which he completed in 17 hours.

All the best Jon!
