The Colyers

Winter Run 2025

Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

M&M's Shake-out run featuring Scout!


A nice, steady shakeout from Martin and Michele. Carb-loaded with bowls of pasta for dinner and porridge prepped for the morning!
Tomorrow's the day!!!

21st Feb - Found myself a new training partner in Scout!


M&M headed back south, I recruited a new member to our running club to accompany me on a little shake out less than 48hrs from race day! Definitely the fastest member of the running club, but also takes the most toilet breaks. 

19th Feb - A Highlands 5K?!?


The training doesn't stop, despite Mum and Dad going on a cross country road trip a week out from race day!

After a hotel treadmill 2 miler on Monday (a personal favourite of mine), they spent their Wednesday morning battling incredible winds to bank another 5km, this time in the Scottish Highlands. Not sure how many of the other participating racers will have trained for this in multiple countries!

15th Feb - Parkrun featuring Leia


Two days post our longest team run, we banked another 5k, at a nice steady pace around a muddy Wanstead Flats, this time with the help of Leia!

13th Feb - NON STOP 7.5K!!!!


Longest non-stop run to date! Pushed through the intense urge to stop between 5-6km and went to run a further 1.5!

Makes you wonder if we CAN do the whole 10 non stop on the day?!?!

A first 10km for M&M today!


Match report from Martin and Michele:
First 5km at a very good pace to start, then on/off jogs for the second half.
We have a time to beat!

A relay run with M&M!


Just over 5km each to keep me company on my long run. Virtually identical times from each!

When in the midst of a storm 🤪


Martin and Michele doing an indoor 3.5k during the torrid weather a couple of weeks ago 😂😂😂

A little breakdown of our training so far!


A few weeks into our 10k training. To round up where we are to date, we’re steadily chipping away at our average pace. This started around 12:00/mile, whereas it is now comfortably between 11:00-11:30/mile, which some occasional <11:00s!

We're fundraising to beat cancer!

On 23rd February, we are taking on the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 2025, a 10km run around the heart of London in support of Cancer Research UK. 

Like many people, some members of our large family have experienced cancer. However, thanks to CRUK, ‘The Big C’ isn’t as big as it once was and we’d like to do our bit towards knocking it on the head. Thank you for your support with this - be it moral or financial. As a reward you’ll be treated to some pretty dreadful training photographs along the way!

Thank you to our Supporters
