My training programme is about to start - better late than never and any help or advice, would be much appreciated.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></span></p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">I am planning to train not only in the gym but also across </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Yorkshire</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">, around various reservoirs. I will update this page regularly so keep coming back to check up on my progress....<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Macmillans is such a great cause and I hope you will dig deep to help me raise as much as possible.
