Marathon Training Commenced
Tuesday 13th JanFor the past three years, I’ve taken part in the London Marathon My Way, completing three marathons along the Rochdale Canal. While training last year, I suffered a serious accident and, despite not being fully recovered, I still went on to complete the marathon. It wasn’t the sensible choice—but it showed me just how much determination can carry you through.
This year, I’ve decided to take on a proper marathon and raise funds for a charity that has supported a close friend over the past year and a half.
The Stroke Association does incredible work. Most of us know someone whose life has been affected by a stroke, and it’s something that can happen to anyone, at any time. None of us know what’s around the corner, and one day we may need that same support ourselves.
Marathon training officially started last week. It’s going to be tough, but I’m determined to push myself and aim to knock at least 30 minutes off my previous time.
I’m not a natural runner and I do find it challenging, which makes every bit of support mean even more. Whether that support comes through a donation or by running alongside me as I clock up the miles before the big day, I’ll be incredibly grateful.
Thank you to my sponsors
