Watch this for a race summary by James cracknell

Oh my god I'm in

I've just got off the phone with Mencap. My place in the race has been confirmed. Whoop!!!!
I know it's two years away but I'm really excited. Please keep following and I will post details of my donation site.

Can you start training too early??????

Did a 11.5 miler today. 1 mile on sand. I haven't ran on sand for a long time. Felt ok. It would be good to do MDS in my five fingers, but I reckon not. Will have to investigate further. I might have to re train my legs again lol.
