Join Montane ambassador Joe Higgins on an inspiring journey as he trains for his first ultramarathon - the legendary Montane Lakeland 50. This five-part YouTube series follows Joe, an outdoor enthusiast and heart transplant recipient, as he prepares to take on the Lakeland 50 - a demanding 50-mile ultramarathon through the rugged terrain of the Lake District. It’s a serious test of endurance, especially for someone new to ultra running. Joe’s passion for the outdoors runs deep. From multi-day hikes and wild camping adventures to completing two marathons and an Ironman, he’s never backed down from a challenge. Now, 10 years after receiving a life-saving heart transplant, he’s pushing his limits once again. To prepare, Joe has teamed up with Montane athlete Howard Dracup - aka The Ultra Running Coach - who brings over a decade of experience racing and training in mountainous terrain all over the world. The Montane Lakeland 50 takes place on Saturday 26th July - follow along as we document every step of Joe’s incredible journey from hiker to ultramarathon runner.
