I’m taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

Except... I'm not doing 1 mile a day, I'm doing 3. A 5K run every day in May.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile challenge and support the courageous crews?

5K a day

Wednesday 24th Apr
Got my new tee delivered today and I've decided to up the ante a little bit for this challenge. I'm confident I can run a mile a day, so I'm going to challenge myself to run a 5k everyday instead!

Sometimes it may be a HIIT type workout, sometimes a straight 5K run (I have to manage my knee a bit!) but if manage it I will have covered 155km in May!
