8 marathons in around 16 weeks....

[SAVORY100]

Hi,

A few of you will already know I run around a bit and that I've done some fairly out of the ordinary running things like 10 marathons in a year. Well as this year draws to a close I'm hoping to top that by ticking off 8 marathons before the year is out.. which is around sixteen weeks, so an average of one a fortnight for the rest of the year. They won't be quick and oddly some will be the two marathons in one weekend type of events to 'spread them out' a bit.

I'm doing it to raise money for one of the smaller charities - LUPUS UK

If anyone can spare a few pennies to get me going, please get involved.

Cheers
Steve

That's amazing well done Steve I have never ran a marathon hopefully some day. You must have extreme fitness levels now!
Did you ever consider the marathon des Sables I think you could handle that by the sounds of it. I would love to try it some time. I love reading about people pushing themselves and getting outside their comfort zone.
And yes I'll sponsor you a few bob

Cheers! very kind.

MDS I have toyed with, but I'm not great in the heat actually.. so these autumn/winter runs will be OK on that front at least. I also don't really like the idea of carrying all the kit for a week while running either... may be one day though as I do seem to fall into some silly ideas every so often!

Donation sent Steve,
Maybe with permission this could be moved to the vintage section for more exposure?

I hope you reach your goal it's for a good cause Steve. After reading what your doing it gave me a little nudge to check whats going on. I went on the web and spotted a challenge on over my side of the water i think you would find a challenge.
It's called to "hell and back" it's around 5km in the dark over verious obstacles around holloween. I have been comtemplating putting my name down for it if I was around home for that date. It probably sounds worse than it is I'd say it would be an interesting night though.
