I'm taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon to support The DofE charity
On Sunday 6th April, I'll be running in the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise vital funds for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award charity, helping to transform the lives of young people. For many 14-25 years the DofE is a life-changing experience but many marginalised young people who would benefit the most are most likely to miss out. I'm supporting the DofE charity so that they can continue to keep opening up this life-changing experince to the young people who would benefit the most. If you're able to support me by sponsorsing me that would be greatly appreciated and together we can help transform the lives of more young people. Thank you.
My Updates
Week 1 (again)
Tuesday 14th Jan Life suddenly got in the way for 3 months, but I am back and ready to train. Taking the lessons learnt from a month of consistent training to power through and actually manage to run a mile without stopping!I am not a natural runner, and this felt like such a big achievement for me, 1 down, 12 to go ❤️

Week 1 of training
Tuesday 13th Aug
my first week of training is complete! I managed two runs this week, following couch to 5k. This was 60 s running and 90 s walking intervals. I did 10 sets of this,rather than the perscribed 7 because I am an overachiever!
Lessons learnt:
- I probably should get trainers without holes in
- I should run with water because I am sweaty
What's gone well:
- got out and started my training
- warmed up properly and didn't over stride
What to improve on:
- consistency in pace
