Fit at 50: Double marathon challenge to raise money for lung research
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. Both my amazing mum and dad in-laws died from lung disease and I want to raise money to try and prevent other people suffering in the same way. Also, Frank and I both have asthma which we’ve had a few challenges with over the years. We’ve benefitted from asthma support and new medications that mean we are both back to full fitness.
£22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make! If you can spare the price of a pint to toast my 50th that would be very much appreciated. Thank you xxx

Long run tactics
Saturday 22nd Feb Managed to watch the Team Breathe zoom recording before today’s long run which was good for tips on pace, nutrition and fuelling on the run. Took it slower today - both running pace and pace of consuming gels. End result = 3 smiling runners at the end of the 3hrs and 15miles! Gutted that I forgot the jelly babies Geoff bought me though :-(Share
Night running and new running stuff…
Friday 14th Feb Proper marathon training means two things at the moment: squeezing in some miles after dark and experimenting with my new toe socks (gift from Geoff) and running jacket holdall thingymajig (gift from Laura to hold all my inhaler and long run gels). ShareThank you to my Sponsors
