NEW CHALLENGE AHEAD !!

The dust has settled on my Ironman. I have several good weeks of training in my legs and last week I clocked just under 90 miles. I have some relatively small targets pre- Christmas, however it is time I told you all of my new challenge for early 2009.... yes, if you can't work it out from the picture above, I plan to run from London to Paris concluding with the Paris Marathon.

Planning is still in it's early stages. Distances and format are to be clarified, however, one thing is for certain, I will start on March 28th/29th and conclude in Paris on April 5th with the 'official' Paris Marathon. We currently estimate the distance to be approximately 320 miles.

It seems to be the logical progression from my '8' earlier this year. This will take things to the next level and I can't wait.

I also want yhis challenge to be slightly different. As far as I can tell, no one has ever run the whole distance, therefore I plan to 'run' the channel crossing... yes, if I can get permission, i hope to put a treadmill on the ferry and run across. I have already approached Eurotunnel, nut due to safety regs it's not possible to run through. Shame !!

So, there you have it. The challenge is set. All I need to do know is plan for it and start getting the miles in....
