The Charity:

Hounds for Heroes provides specially trained assistance dogs to injured and disabled personnel of HM Armed Forces and Emergency Services.

The Route:

100 km (63 miles). Thames Path - Putney Bridge start, and the full 100km route heads upstream to Henley along the famous Towpath.

Damon:

I have been training since February doing a hybrid plan of: gym 3 times a week, anaerobic and home exercises sessions, a long run or cross train once a week and other smaller runs through the week.

I have been seeing great improvements in my fitness with zone training which I find works extremely effectively. 80% Zone 2 & 20% Zone 4/5.

Half way through my training I broke my foot! But I fully intend to still complete the event, it will just mean more pain for me!

I really do appreciate all support :)
