The treadmill is back in action. This January I will be raising awareness and vital funds for ChemoHero by running for 24 hours on a treadmill.
The event will be held at Platform Gym, Barnstaple.

From Ultra to Endurance events, I'm running to make a difference
I’ve run for many years, for pleasure and for fitness, a cancer diagnosis in 2021 would take me out the shoes but when I returned, I ventured into the world of Ultra Marathon and Endurance running.
This website was created to serve two main purposes. To talk openly about my running experiences, the highs and lows of training, injury, nutrition, and my race reports on some of the ultras I enter each year. The information may help you to achieve your own running goals.
You can read about and download my 100K Ultra Marathon training plan, as well as other programmes I use such as the Treadmill Speed and Hill sessions. I’ll keep these updated as I learn and adapt them.
It’s also here to keep me accountable. Accountable to the targets I set myself as I returned to running from cancer, including supporting others through fundraising and motivation. Each year I design my own, often slightly off the wall, running adventures where I fundraise for cancer and mental health charities. You can keep an eye on how much I’ve raised below and keep up to date on when the next event is.
Thanks for joining me here today, browse the site, download the training plans, read my Blog Posts, and drop me a line to let me know how you are getting on with your running.
Lace up.
Andy :)
