Ainslie takes a long run-up
5 May 2014In an unconventional twist on marathon training, James Jones & Sons’ sales manager, Keith Ainslie, took the concept of a long training run to extremes.
He opted to take part in the 53-mile Highland Fling Ultra-marathon as part of his build-up to the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday May 25.
On April 26, in his third attempt at the Ultra, Mr Ainslie took 11 minutes off his time last year to finish 175th out of 566 finishers, in an impressive 10 hours 50 minutes 47 seconds.
Mr Ainslie is running the Edinburgh Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK and is just under half way to his fund-raising target of £6,000.
