My story

 

http://naomiruns10in10.blogspot.com/

From 7th May 2010, I shall be running 10 marathons in 10 days around Lake Windermere for the Brathay Trust. This is an accurately measured, UK Athletics certified 26.2 mile course and recognised as one of the UK's most challenging road marathons. 262 miles is about the distance from London to Land's End..

I thought I'd save my inevitable request for sponsorship for something really big, so please indulge me while I dredge up the highlights of my 3 year running career

- First marathon: 5 hours and 9 minutes

- Current marathon PB: 3 hours and 38 minutes

- Number of marathons to date, including 7 ultra-marathons: 39

- Miles logged this year: 2,059 and counting

While I'm intending to run about 35 marathons and ultras this year, many in consecutive weeks, and occasionally two in a weekend, this is still a huge step up, and will require even more training, commitment and discipline than before. And industrial quantities of pasta..

As an additional kicker, the Ladies' World Record for 10 marathons in 10 days is 41 hours, 0 minutes and 47 seconds, and I've got a bit of a shot at breaking it.

A couple of suggestions for you if you want to incentivise me:

- Add 10% for every marathon I run sub 4 hours

- Double your sponsorship if I break the world record

Any donations would be very gratefully received. Brathay is a superb charity that does some stirling work for children and young people and I'm more than happy to have been selected to represent it.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
