Hi guys just a brief update, training is going well, clocking up longer runs now that I'm over my tonsillitis.Lockdown!!
Still clocking the k’s even on lockdown, 1 hour a day!!!Covid
As we all now covid is here to stay, but that's not going to hinder my efforts in training, back out tomorrow weather permitting. I've been fighting a bug over the past few weeks what with being run down with work. Still keeping up the kms though!!Track training has begun
Hi guys so this week I've managed to get out on to the track and start prepping for the event. After being held up at work for close to a month and just getting back to fitness after the cold, getting out and getting a few hours under the belt went well. Now to increase my times on the track. Remember for a little fun jump on to my In it for Zane Facebook page and have a guess at the distance I'll run in 24 hours!!!Facebook page is now up and running!!
Please follow this link if you want to take part in a bit of fun!!In it for Zane
It's that time of year again, I'm helping to raise funds in the name of my son Zane.
Zane has been diagnosed with low functioning autism along with many other diagnosis, Zane has been through so much in his short life and has always come out stronger.
What Zane has been through in his short life has pushed me to help raise awareness and opportunities for people on the spectrum, not just Zane.
I believe this charity does this. 'In it for autism' helps provide the best opportunities for people of all ages on the autism spectrum, from tailored educational support to fulfilling work lives and improved social environments.
Any amount of money I manage to raise for this cause, I'm sure will go along way in helping.
I know its been a tough year for everyone and alot of people might not be able to donate to this cause, that's why I have decided to do a raffle style fund raising.
On the 14th August I will attempt to run 24 hours on the Bunbury track ultra event.
I will be offering multiple prizes to anyone who can guess the closet distance I will run in this event. There will be prizes for the top 3 closest guesses along with a raffle where peoples entries will be pulled from a hat.

Absolutely amazing effort. I’ve done loads of crazy ultra stuff but what you have done takes so much strength mate. You should be so proud of yourself because you have to dig to the bottom of your core to do what you’ve done.
