The 4x4x48 Challenge 

Join me and countless others virtually on Friday, March 5th at 4am GMT/8pm PST to kick off a 4x4x48 challenge! 

So what does it entail?

Starting on Friday at 4am GMT 8pm PST, I will run 4 miles every 4 hours for a total of 48 hours.  If the first run takes me 36 minutes,  then I have 3 hours and 24 minutes before starting the next 4 miles at 8am GMT 12am PST and so on. I will run some legs of this alone, some alongside others who will be supporting me. 

I will be going live on Instagram and/or Facebook prior to and at the start of every 4 mile run throughout the 48 hours. I will also go live during the runs, after the runs, and during the rest time- periodically throughout to give you all updates and talk in more depth about CALM, mental health and my soon to be noodle legs.

While it doesn’t sound too difficult, after a while it becomes quite annoying! You are looking at 48 miles in 48 hours. 

The whole idea of doing this is to get out of the comfort zone, to experience a little bit of sleep deprivation, irritability, soreness and mild suffering. This might sound bad but it pales in comparison to  the struggles many men suffer through on a daily basis. My main objective here is to raise money for a great cause alongside opening up a dialogue surrounding the all to quite conversation of supporting men's mental health. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE HAVE DONE IT! £480 goal has been smashed. Thank you all so much for your support and kindness. Let's not stop there though. For every £40 over the intial goal we hit, i will be adding another 4 mile run on-top! Let's keep up the momentum and see how far we can go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over £1000 raised, 72 Miles in 72 Hours, this went above and beyond anything i could have anticipated but im so thankful it did. 

Thank you x
