I've always been in to sport and fitness but in my 29years I've never actually ran an organised 5k, 10k etc or entered any sort of event like Tough Mudder.

When my boss at work told me that he had signed up to the 5x50 challenge, I thought it sounded quite interesting. A 5k every day for 50 days. After completing the first day of his challenge with him I thought I'm going to sign up and do it as well. A way to keep fit, keep each other motivated and raise money for our respective charities.

Why Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland? It is the 10 year anniversary since my grandad passed away of a heart attack, so I thought it would be best to raise money for a charity that tries to help improve the quality of life for people in Scotland affected by chest, heart and stroke illness.

I aim to try and complete the 5k each day, from 27/03/16 in as many different ways as possible, so if anyone has any suggestion on how I can complete the 5k then please get in touch. I will update you on how I am doing with the challenge and the different ways I manage to complete the challenge each day.
