Story
So being inspired by a young lady called Molly Smith (mollyruns365) I've decided to try and challenge myself and run a minimum of 5k everyday for a entire year, starting on my birthday January 1st 2019.
I felt that if I was going to attempt this, then being from Dover and having friends in both camps I would like to help our volunteer based emergency services, The Dover Rnli and Dover community first responders . I'll also be making a donation to BCN who I've supported in the past and will continue to do so.
The runs themselves will be across lots of different distances these will take place at local events, club runs as well as the Brighton and London marathons, with a Clifftop challenge distance 36 mile ultra being covered as well. Such a great event!!
I'll be sharing/updating the story on usual social media sites Facebook and Instagram (keep_the_hart_running). The runs will be uploaded to my Strava account too.
Once the challenge has finished I'll then pass the funds onto the reps of the respective causes, minus the usual fees from justgiving. I would like to thank the support of the local businesses involved and both sets of crews for giving up thier time to meet me especially Ben and Clare who helped piece it all together. Also a special mention my long suffering wife Claire who puts up with these cranky ideas, again!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story, hopefully a few of you will join me, roll on January 1st!

5 years agoThe last update!.I managed to wack away 195 miles in December and finish in 2401 miles in total. It was a seriously tiring month but with some great running partners was able to get through it.I would like to thank again the people who ran with me throughout the year, donated/shared the page or just asked how it was going. The last run turn out was a massive surprise, I was totally unaware what Claire had been up too. The support from her and yourselves has got me through the tough times and managed to raise £4005. All thanks to you guys! ❤️

5 years agoThe challenge was starting to become a serious grind but November turned out to be a great month. I managed 217 miles including a marathon which I was pleased with. I put a post out asking if any runners out there fancied a run out and the response was amazing. I had someone to run with everyday of November and December is full too!. I mean don't get me wrong I can run and run pretty well, but the support from all the DRR club runners and everyone else that has joined me. I owe alot back in miles and I'll be repaying that in the new year. 👊👍

5 years agoWell October was a tough month with one hundred and seventy miles ran but the heat of Cyprus nearly killed me. However it brought some personal success with a couple of 3rd place podium finishes at the Temple Ewell 10k and the Ashford 10 mile where I managed to get a decent pb. The club relays were great to, Jane and the Hartbreakers putting in a Stirling performance!. I have had some tremendous support from everyone joining me on these runs and the finish line isn't too far off now just November to tick off then down the home straight! Kev
