Week 1 - 25k done

Ben has completed his first week and managed an incredible 25k-he even finished his week with a parkrun pb knocking off 43seconds of his previous parkrun pb there! 
Here is the breakdown of his runs:
1.9.24 - 6k run
2.9.24 - 3k run = 9k done
3.9.24 - 4k run (athletics training) = 13k done
4.9.24 - 5k run = 18k done
5.9.24 - REST DAY (he was not happy with me!)
6.9.24 - 2k run = 20k done
7.9.24 - 5k run (Parkrun PB 19.01!!) = 25k done

Ben 100K running challenge

Ben loves to run! He loves to push himself in his running goals and he was up for the challenge of this one, especially as it’s for such a good cause. Ben completes the 5k Parkrun most weeks, trains with his New Forest Athletics endurance group and will often try and drag either Will or myself for a run mid week too!

We will update you on his progress and let you know how many K’s he does each week. Luckily I have borrowed a bike so I can keep up with him as he runs! 

Please consider sponsoring him as he completes this challenge! 

I’m running 100K in September for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to run 100 kilometres this September to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And with every kilometre I run, I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
