UPDATE! 25 Oct 2010

It is with great sadness that I write this update. On the 25th October 2010 my little sister sadly passed away at the age of 31. She had bravely battled MND for 11 years. She had never given up and had achieved to much even after developing MND, winning the Open University award for achievement to gaining a degree. She will be greatly missed and will for ever be in our thoughts. Love you sis :D

Well where to start, it was all originally done as I was carry to much weight and wanted to loose it. Which I am sure it most peoples story begins, however after loosing the weight I actually started to enjoy running outside. Joined some forums (BCTTT & Runners World), there inspiration and helpfullness has helped me a lot. Now I am also swimming and commuting a couple of times a week to work on my bike! Now since 2011 I accomplished more than I thought I ever would or could. From 5k runs to an Ironman in 2014 and The Outlaw in 2015. In 2016 I am going down a different route, I will be trying Ultra's as you can see from my events I have already entered 3 so far. Now I thought wait a minute I need to have one more motivation and that people is my sister Emma. Since the age of 20 she was very unfortunate and developed MND (Motor Neurone Disease), she is now 31 years of Age. Her health has deteriatated over the years and we nearly lost her last year. My mum had to give up her work and become a full time carer for my sister and my dad takes over the duties when he comes home from work. All the races I do will be in aid of my sister and all money raised will be donated to MND to help raise awareness and research in the disease. Thanks for all your help and enjoy my training blog,

New Year New Challenges

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

I know I am 12 days late but we are still in January. Training is back on track. I did the marcothon in December, which is basically run a minimum of 3 miles or 25 mins each day in Dec. I managed to run 169 miles in the month of Dec.

Now into January I have reduced the running to about 3 or 4 days a week and now back to swimming twice a week. The bike err well, need to get the road bike fixed and a turbo as I sold my last one.

As for events this year well you can see that I have entered a few. D33 (33 mile run), Hoka Highland Fling (53 mile run on the West Highland Way) and the Equinox 24 which is a 24 hour running race. As you can tell this year is pretty much Ultra running events. New Challenge which I will give it all the training I have time for.
