I ran the route from Brecon to Cardiff on 20th December 2023 unsupported. 

I carried all food and water for the run, taking two 500ml soft flasks with PF60 mixed in along with 6 SIS Beta gels and a bag of fruit pastels.

The first half of the run went great, which is also the most scenic part of the route, starting at around 9:30am in Brecon. The second half got a bit rough and the pace slowed from around Pontypridd, but I made it into Cardiff Bay just as darkness began to set in.

Overall a fun day and challenge to round off the year.
