Dr Bruce Willoughby
I work as a GP and in public health. I try and improve people's health, including my own. I started running in 2017 and have surprised myself how, little by little, I have exceeded my running goals. This is despite half a lifetime of avoiding stuff due to my perceived limitations because I have no colon. I have had an ileoanal pouch since my colectomy for ulcerative colitis in 1996. It's not something I talk about normally. I'm not sure how I'll cope with this challenge, as finding the right foods, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and bowel frequency are some of the problems I have. Not good for running an ultra. I hope to inspire others to overcome their fears and perceived barriers to achieve the impossible, no matter how big or small.
