I'm taking on the Run 50 Miles in October Challenge

Did you know that 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?

I’m taking on the Run 50 Miles in October Challenge for Prostate Cancer Research to change this and help make a difference to men and their families who have been affected by prostate cancer.

Please support me during this challenge by donating what you can to Prostate Cancer Research. Every donation you make helps advance our mission to create a world free from the impact of prostate cancer.

Thank you for your support! 💙🧡

Last week 😳

Tuesday 27th Oct
Somehow the last week has come around just like that! It’s crazy to think 3 weeks ago I couldn’t run for 5 minutes without having to stop and walk and now each run I’m aiming for a PB and managed to get my 5K under 30 minutes!! I’m truly shocked at how far I’ve come and also at peoples incredible generosity, I set out to raise £150 and now I’m just shy of £800!! Thank you to everyone whose support me through this challenge and I’m going to smash through these last miles with a smile on my face, appreciate you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

4 days in, 3 runs down 💪🏼

Sunday 4th Oct
4 days into the challenge and I’m 3 runs down! Starting on the 1st I managed to get 2 miles in, followed by a rest day as I had the idea to do my first ever Parkrun and wanted to see if I could manage 5km (3.1 miles) and I did! It felt like a real achievement and has motivated me even more to keep going! A gentle 1.5 miles this morning and I’m well on track to smash the 50 miles and hopefully go well beyond! 

LFG! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Warm up… 🥵

Sunday 20th Sep
Having not run outdoors for anymore than 2 minutes in the last 10 years, before this challenge begins on October 1st I thought I’d try and see where my stamina is at. 

I set out to just see where I could make it too on my first attempt and ended up doing 4km at around 7 minutes 20 per Kilometre… my calves are on fire… I’m sweaty.. but I feel good!

Keeping this up daily is my main challenge,  not only making the time for it but pushing myself to improve and get more comfortable doing it. LFG!
