Winter Run 2025

My Activity Tracking

114
kms

My target 50 kms

Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

Completed it mate!

Well, we did it! My first ever 10k. It was a brilliant run, we had a lot of fun, lots of sights to see and it went really well. We did not stop and completed it in 1hr 24 … slow but steady and we enjoyed it! 

Thank so SO much to anyone who donated and supported me it really is appreciated. It not only spurred me on but has gone to an amazing cause. Thank you!!!!!

Training completed!

Well I’ve just finished my final training run ahead of this weekend! I am actually feeling ready for it and pretty excited! Thank you to everyone for your support it’s really help keep me going. I’m just over £900 now I hope we can get to £1000 for this amazing cause!! 

Wow £600!!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it’s gone up from £380 to £600 in just two days. I am so grateful. It really spurs me on and is all going to an amazing cause. I’ve upped my target to £750 because why not. Thanks again!!

Less than four weeks to go!

There are now less than 4 weeks until my 10k! And I’m very close to my £500 target - I’d be so grateful for any support! I am confident I’ll be finishing this race feeling really proud. 

10 weeks to go!

I’ve been made aware that there are only 10 weeks to go until the 10k in February!! Argh!! So I’ve got my running shoes back on after a little break - weather, illness and other lame excuses stopped me going out. 

But today I did a return to running 3k on my Runna plan and it was great. What helps is that I’ve lost 24kg since June which really makes running feel a lot easier - less to carry and less jiggling! So I feel good today and am excited to get back on plan. We may even do a park run this weekend! Need to stay in some kind of routine. 

Thanks for all the amazing donations - can’t believe I’m at over £350.

Here we go ..

I’ve decided to run my first ever race in the London Winter Run 10k next year to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK. But this is also to challenge myself! I’ve lost just over 3 stone since June 2024 and want to lose more, so I am hoping this will be good motivation to keep active and fit and help with further weight loss. I also think it’s important to challenge yourself mentally and a race is something I’ve always wanted to do but never been fit enough or strong enough to do. After starting Couch to 5k earlier this year I realised I love running but this has tapered off. 

So here we go, 21 weeks to train and work hard!! 

Thank you! £250 reached


So happy to have reached £250 in donations already, thank you everyone who has donated. I have now doubled the target to see how far we can get.

First 5k ever done this morning. It was a walk/run but it means I have a PB to beat as a starting point.
