<p>This year is the Big One when I plan to run <em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">145 miles in 45 hours</span></strong></em> from <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Birmingham to London along the Grand Union Canal</em></span>. This is one tough challenge, possibly the toughest in the United Kingdom.</p> <p>Training started in November 2010 and by the time I have completed the challenge I will have run <strong>1600 miles</strong> in training and races.</p> <p>As I approach this challenge, I will run in 4 x 50km trail races, 1 x 50 mile race, a 12 hour race in hope to get in excess of 110 km...this is no easy challenge and because of this I am looking to ask you to dig a little deeper into your pockets and purses&nbsp; and donate towards this brilliant charity</p> <p>The Prostate Cancer Charity (http://www.prostate-cancer.org.uk/)</p>
