Between Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th of August, David Bewicke-Copley and I will be having a go at our first long run. We are going to try and cover 100 miles in Wales between Brecon and the Elan Valley then back in under 24 hours.

The route will start and finish with a lap of the infamous military test mountain, Pen y Fan, in the centre of the Brecon Beacons.

While both of us are used to long hours of training as Princeton rowers, this type of effort will be an entirely new challenge for both of us.

We are taking this opportunity to try and raise some money for The Not Forgotten Association, an incredible charity that does some amazing work in support of wounded, injured or sick servicemen and women from the Armed Forces. Please check out this great charity and donate whatever you can!
