Scanner.

On 8 April 2018 I’ll be taking part in the Run for All Sheffield Half Marathon as part of the University

of Sheffield team. We’re raising funds for the University’s £2 million campaign to bring an MRI-PET
scanning facility to Sheffield, the first of its kind in Yorkshire.

I have never ran such a distance before on road, but always wanted to do so. When the opportunity to do so, to help raise for such a worth while charity I snapped at the chance. The event will give me focus for the first part of the year, by encouraging me to train regularly. This time of the year, I often find myself with little motivation to keep fit, and now I have a good reason to do so.

I am determined to get between 1hr 30mins - 1hr 45mins. The challenge for me is to complete the run without old injuries resurfacing. In my last long time trial event I had to walk just under half of the event, in a lot of pain. Whatever happens, I will again make sure I cross that finish line.

I will be among thousands of runners who’ll descend on the city’s streets on 8 April. With a city centre start and finish, the Sheffield Half Marathon route will take us out of the city along Ecclesall Road, up the long hill beyond Hunter’s Bar, along Knowle Lane and Ringinglow Road up to the Norfolk Arms, just a few metres from the Peak District National Park, before turning left, flattening out and then descending back into Sheffield down the same stretch of Ecclesall Road towards the finish line back in the city centre.
