On the 29th June 2013, I'm going to run round Fords only Uk test track in Basildon. I will start running at 8am and stop at 8pm. Yes you read right, it is a 12 hour challenge.
That's my challenge, and your challenge if you want to win 20% of the money collected for this event, you will need to guess how far I will go in the 12 hours, and you will also need to guess how many toilet breaks that me and my peanut bladder will take, incase of a tie break situation.
A guess will cost you £2 or 2 guesses for £3, with 80% going to Mencap and 20% going to the winning person. You can have as many tries as you like.
If you want a guess, catch up with me and I will put you in. Cash required at time of guess.
Even better if you would be happy to collect guesses from the people you know, please contact me on 07973511250 and I will get forms and cash bags to you
Thanks in advance
The Marathon des Sables is probably the world's toughest running event. The race covers approx. 145m in six stages over seven days – which is a total of almost six marathons. The stages include a dune day (a day that is run entirely in sand dunes) and a non-stop 50 mile stage that has to be completed within 40 hours.

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.
