Story
I have given myself a personal challenge of breaking the fastest known time (currently 10 hours 58 minutes) on a 55 mile ultramarathon route around the Wokingham Borough boundary called The Wokingham Way.
I live and work at Ludgrove Prep School in Berkshire which provides a full boarding education for boys aged 8-13.
The Ludgrove Foundation is committing it's energy to funding up to five full transformational bursaries per year for boys in Year 7 and 8. The aim is to support boys from State Primary Schools who combine genuine need with potential and motivation. These awards truly make a difference, benefitting not only the individual from a challenge background but also the entire school community. To find out more about the Ludgrove Foundation click here.
I have seen for myself the benefit these bursaries have and want to play my part in fundraising for this worthy cause. To do so I have given myself a personal challenge of breaking the fastest known time (currently 10 hours 58 minutes) on a 55 mile route around the Wokingham Borough boundary called The Wokingham Way. I am currently hard at work training to take on this challenge in August 2024.

5 months agoWith a few days to go before I attempt to break the fastest known time on The Wokingham Way, I wanted to thank you all. I am so grateful for all your support. After a few months of training, I am taking things a little easier this week. I will be going on a few gentle runs and making sure I have got all my kit and food ready to go. As I am completing the run self-supported, I will be carrying everything I need.

7 months agoWhile everybody took a little RnR after Sports Day, I took the opportunity to put in some hard hours training for my challenge in August. I ran 35.85km in 3 Hours and 35 minutes - bang on track for my attempt to run 93km around Wokingham's boundary in under 10 hours!
