Why get up at 5 in the morning to go running in the cold, wet and dark? Why run so much that some mornings you can barely walk downstairs because your muscles are so knackered and your joints are so stiff and painful? Why give up hours of your weekend to get in your long runs? All you can think about is when you can get your next training run in, how you can reorganise your week around your training schedule...
Yep, marathon training takes a certain type of insanity. And no, I don't always enjoy it - some mornings I would rather stay in bed (OK, most of them!). No, as I've blogged before, I am doing this for several reasons bigger than myself - firstly as a challenge to what I can push my body and mind to achieve, and secondly as a way to raise money for Cancer Research.
My aim is to finish - if you fancy sponsoring me to just get round and be alive at the end, then click the button at the top of the page.
I would like to finish in under 5 hours. I would really like to finish in under 4.5 hours. If you fancy sponsoring me to hit these targets, then send me a message via blog comments or Facebook.
And if you want some evidence that I am doing what I say, look at my training history on Tribesports
