I’m running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be running 100 Miles in October, from the 1st to the 31st, to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 


Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

3 days left!

Thursday 29th Oct
11 mile run achieved yesterday!! The longest run I’ve ever done and got absolutely soaked in the rain. Last final push 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

Day 22!

Thursday 22nd Oct
Nice and steady 3 mile run this afternoon and have noticed my running technique is improving! Training for a longer distance run next week 🤞🏻

Day 19!

Monday 19th Oct
First run before a work day - 6 miles 😆 Previous 2 weeks had off which helped massively starting this challenge. Feeling stronger and loving the 10k runs. 

Day 15💪🏻

Thursday 15th Oct
10th and 11th day consisted of steady walks recovering from my run on the 9th. Rest days and looking after myself had paid off as achieved a 7 mile run today! So happy and learning more regarding my body, what it can cope with and the nutrition side of things. Feeling great. 😊 

Day 10!

Saturday 10th Oct
This is where it gets challenging! Thursday 8th managed a trail run of 3.5 miles and today (9th) a 2 mile road run. Much prefer road running although I hit my limits today! Body is not happy from the overload of exercise the past 2 weeks so a little rest is in order and then back to it!!💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

Day 7!

Wednesday 7th Oct
After my nearly 7 miles run on day 5, my body was definitely feeling it. After two days of eating well and going for 3/4 mile walks. I am feeling ready to run again tomorrow. Knees and back were feeling it but so ready to hopefully run a good 4 miles on the next one! 💪🏻

Day 5!

Monday 5th Oct
10k goal achieved! Adding a total of 6.7miles. Today was my first road run which I really enjoyed and will probably stick to road running from now on. 

Yesterday consisted of a short run followed by a nice walk adding around 5 miles. Had a rest day previous to this which helped me smash the 10k today!! Whooop

Day 2!

Friday 2nd Oct
4 mile run, steady pace today! Still getting used to it but proud to have smashed an extra mile than yesterday. 💪🏻

Day 1 run complete ✔️

Thursday 1st Oct
First solo run of 3miles in 32.51 mins. Nice steady start to the month, still getting used to it but enjoying it. Aiming for a longer run on the next one. 🏃🏻‍♀️

100 miles. One month. Young lives vs cancer

Friday 18th Sep

This October, I’m taking on the challenge of running 100 miles in a month to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer. 

I’m looking forward to getting back into running, but I know it’s going to be tough! I will do my best to run as much as I can and walk on recovery days. Hopefully, I can push myself while raising money for an amazing cause.

Every donation, big or small, means so much and will help keep me motivated throughout the challenge.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog post and for any support you are able to give. Here’s to 100 miles in October!💪🏻❤️
