I will be attempting to take part in the Manchester Marathon on the 6th April 2014. This will be my first marathon and will be forcing me into a heavy 12 week training plan with 4 runs a week, covering 356 miles throughout my training. 

I have chosen the Hospice of the Good Shepherd as my charity as it was where my Granny spent a lot of her time whilst she was battling cancer for 13 years. They are such a great support for cancer patients and their families in the Cheshire area.

Taking the leap from running 10ks to a marathon is a big one for me so I will need all the motivation I can get. I will be blogging throughout my training on lifeofanexstudent.wordpress.com so stay tuned!
