Lizzie and I started running together during the second lockdown in November 2020, as a means of staying sane and boosting our mood. With some Strava miles behind us, we completed our first half-marathon together in December 2020. Now, for the third lockdown instalment, we have decided to run two half-marathons in a month, but this time with the added bonus of raising money for causes that we believe in. Mental health is always something that we need to look after, but the social isolation and increased anxieties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that more and more people are struggling. That’s why we are raising money so that brilliant charities such as BEAT and Changes Bristol can continue to offer support services to those who need them the most.

Our half-marathons will be recorded on the Strava running app and linked to this page when we complete them so that you can view our progress!
