Hello friends and welcome back to the ultra profiles podcast! This week we're chatting to Craig Nilsson, who returned from a tough 2023, to go on and with the Pan Celtic Ultra Magnum Opus! It was an epic race, full of up's and downs and a great result for Craig. Lot's to learn for us too, so I hope you enjoy it.
