Once upon a time I didn’t know whether I could, but I thought it was worth giving it a go.

In 2010, I thought it would be fun to see if I could run 7 marathons in 7 days. This adventure idea was a culmination of reading Dean Karnaze’s book “50/50: Secrets I learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 days”, reading Rosie Swale Pope MBE’s book “Just A little Run Around the World” and not having enough money to enter the Marathon Des Sables. Instead I chose 6 locations around Leicestershire and for my 7th day I had a place in the London Marathon.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I had to start somewhere. And so, I did …

There was laughter and tears, possibly in equal measure - at my naivete, audacity, struggles and success.

Was it fun? Well I can definitely say that “fun” is most definitely subjective.

It’s fun looking back and remembering how far I’ve come.
