Two weeks to go !

From couch to 5k, 5k to 10k. Now this is my goal on the horizon

That will be couch to half marathon in under 12 months, and raised £528 pounds for charity in the process.

For those interested I am 52 and not what you would call athletic, I run when the weathers fine or when I feel like it , and walk a couple of miles a day to and from work (used to drive it). If your thinking of a park run or an event go for it ... It’s surprising what a crowd and other runners can do to get you around a course.

Well done on your brilliant achievement!

If that’s the Vitality Big Half, I shall be on the sidelines watching ......my daughter is running it for a charity close to the hearts of our family.

She is a transplant patient so has had her own training challenges.

I shall look out for you , enjoy!
