When i heard that iam-sold were doing the GNR I signed up straight away.  Marie Curie Cancer Care is an excellent cause to raise money for and I've always loved a challenge.  I already run a few miles a week but nothing like this!

I've done a few long distance bike rides in the past, including the Great North Bike Ride and i'll be doing the Coast and Castles route at Easter (a 200-mile bike ride from Tynemouth to Edinburgh).  I'm hoping this training will build up my endurance before the run but cycling and running are very different sports!

In short I've got a lot of training to do...
