Thanks for visiting this page. Now I've reached the ripe new age of 50 I thought it time for a new challenge!
The 50 Mile Challenge is a 52.4 mile run across the Kent countryside on 19 July. It It's far further than I've run before. Your support has helped me pull me through the final miles on the day when it all began to hurt - a lot.
Well I did it the whole distance in 9 hours and 12 minutes. I finished 19th out of a field of 118. Here's the link to my video diary of the day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4eGKpTpC8U
My other training races building up to this event are also linked here. I ran 27 miles around Croydon and Bromley on 19 April http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdfq2M4o_RU and I completed the 1st Halstead & Essex 30 mile race on 10 May , finishing in 4 hours 18 mins. A link to a short film is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JHRq26cKYI. I also completed the North Downs Run (30kms) in June. Video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2bFpKey-jg
