  • that's really sad :(

    Potentially quite controversial but I feel if you want to be at the very top of the 'ultra' game then kids should really be a no no. The sheer time demands are so huge that it isn't fair to the kids or partner. There's plenty of room for a few events a year or whatever but the training load and time demands are just too much if you're looking to be the very best.

  • There are worse things that a parent can do - booze, drugs, crime, etc. But I probably agree that spending loads of time on your hobby , whether ultraracing or anything else, isn't a great basis for family life.
