Story

On November 30, 2023 i completed my first 5k Parkrun after having a conversation with friends suggesting i wouldn't mind doing a marathon.

So we came up with an ambitious plan. could i get myself into shape to complete a full marathon with less than 5 months of training?

Owen & Duncan have set me a training plan each week which i have followed and trusted.

It's been really tough, and i couldn't have got this far without the support from friends and family, along with physio from Abi, who has healed my injuries along the way.

I know money is tight in all households at the moment, but if you could find a few quid to help my cause and raise money for a great charity, here is a little info on the Sense charity...

Sense is a national Charity that supports people who are deafblind and those with complex disabilities, to be understood, connected and valued. They are there for every person who faces communication barriers in a world that relies on being able to see and hear well to be connected. Together we can unlock barriers to communication so no one is isolated, left out or unable to fulfil their potential.
