FAT BOYS RUNNING CLUB! FROM 16ST TO SUB 4 HRS

If I can, you can!

I want as many of you as possible to join me on my journey, as I challenge myself to reach my own personal milestone of running a marathon in under 4 hours. I hope you can join me as I share this journey with you. I will share the highs and lows of training for a marathon from almost scratch to the finish line.

About Me

So, I have started this website more to give myself a kick up the back side than anything else, knowing that I am running Berlin the great north later this year and running at least one marathon in the first for months of next year, I need that kick up the arse as winter this year has certainly piled on the pounds, sadly not the ones in my bank account.

I currently sit at 16st8 and at 6ft tall that’s still far more than it should be, my first goal is my weight which will include a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, starting with more runs but at a shorter distance. My end goal is to be around 13st7 and to be able to run a marathon in under 4 hours, my current best time was Berlin 2014 where I finished in 4hrs36 and my best half was the great eastern run of the same year coming in at 1hr56. So I know if I can get my body in the right place I can and will hit this target!

The aim of the blog will be to write what I have consumed daily and how much exercise I have done during the day, I will do this even on those days that I know I will be naughty by scarfing down a pasty or kebab or have avoided exercise completely. I will post my times and distances ran so you can keep along with my development along the way.

There will hopefully be a few video Updates also, these will include any events I enter between now and early next year, these will include clips from both the Great North run and Berlin marathon, among others including small local runs in the Cambridgeshire area.

I hope some of you will join me on this journey, and if I can get just one more runner on the road then its been worth it if I can get two then I will feel like a miracle worker!
