Manchester Marathon

Aim

I am raising money for Komatsu UK's 2023 nominated charity, Northumbria Blood Bikes by running the Manchester Marathon on 16th April 2023

26.2miles or 42.2km is a lot further than anything I have ever run before. After years of "thinking about it" for years, I decided to take the plunge and do it before my big birthday this year.  Over the last 12 months I have committed to training covering over 1400km in 120hrs (and still counting), burning nearly 90,000 calories and climbing the equivalent height of Everest 1.5 times.  Training over the winter has meant going out in all weather to keep as close as I can to my training plan, including in the sleet, snow, wind and rain with the occasional run in the sunshine!

On April 16th I will run the Manchester Marathon hopefully raising lots of money for Northumbria Blood Bikes.

Many thanks, Paul
