Training
Minimum physical fitness for the challenge requires that i'm able to do (without stopping) at least
- 25 pushups
- 6 chin ups
- Run 10 miles
To do this i'll have to be
- Circuit training 3 times a week
- Running 2-3 times a week.
I don't belong to a gym or currently working with any fitness trainers. But I have in the past. So i'm not going into this blind but the bulk of training will be done at home with bodyweight/free weights training in circuits with the info provided on the website and other fitness resources i've accumulated.
Lucky enough to live near the beautiful wildlife reserve of Westport lake which is one mile around. I can manage 5 miles non stop at a steady pace currently. Plenty of hills about in sunny Stoke too.
Fundraising
I've now set up my crowd funding website through Bmycharity. It was a very quick and simple thing to do.

All the funds raised to date are either allocated or spent on the direct, practical support of those wounded in the current conflicts.
