ROAD TO THE TOP IN PROGRESS
Ultra Osku is the ultrarunning project of Finnish ultrarunner Oscar Vatanen.The path: 100 MILE → 200 KM → 200 MILE
From Finland to Pogostan Ultra +300 KM.
I'm building myself into an ultra-distance runner — one kilometer, one training session and one race at a time.
One hundred kilometres is finished. The first 100-mile attempt ended at 96.4 kilometres. Kaukopartio 100 KM ended in a DNF — after that, Soimala 65 KM and the build toward 200 KM.
