Reaching 500 marathons for @younglivesvscancer and @myname5doddie
Since I started running marathons back in 2004, I have run 20,691km, the equivalent of 490 marathons (not including any 5k, 10ks, half marathons, training sessions, fun runs). Only 2 have been traditional road marathons. The majority have been solo, unsupported, pushing or carrying everything I needed and involved being responsible for sourcing all my food, water and finding places to camp/sleep!
So it makes sense that I should aim for 500 marathons.
I need to cover 406.6km to reach the 500 marathons milestone (9.6 marathons) or 772.5km by the 15th of August 2024 (18.3 marathons) to reach 500 marathons within a decade.
I am going to be taking this on between 1st-14th of August and raising money for @younglivesvscancer and @myname5doddie
