I'm Running to Paris

That's right me and the team are running to Paris. You heard, from London to Paris on foot, in just 4 days. Wish us luck but more importantly please donate. Your donation will go towards two really important causes, Supporting Parkinson's UK and SSAFA. I really appreciate your support.

My Updates

So it begins...

Thursday 27th Mar
Thank you for supporting me in this challenge. While many of you know I run half marathons regularly, doing it four days in a row is definitely a challenge. 

Most of you will also know that I have been struggling with a slipped disk and leg issues. It isn't helping but it just makes me more determined. 

Why did I decide to run Run2Paris - well, I've been wanting to do this ever since I saw the Running Channel (TRC) Presenters do it a couple of years ago. Yet, I never really found a team of people who wanted to do it with me. In December, I met Weronika in Malaga at a TRC-organised marathon/half marathon trip. She decided to do it this year and messaged me last week that they are short a couple of people in their team (we need a total of 5 people in the team). While I don't think it is the ideal time, with my training set more towards trying to run sub2h this year, it might be my only chance... so here I am.

Please support me in any way you can! I will need all the encouragement you can give. 

Last week started with a training run in 30 degrees Fajara, The Gambia with loads mire runs to come in the coming weeks. And a half marathon in Prague next Saturday.
