I’m still doing this – its been over 2 years since I decided this was my goal and I have beset with many problems. Injury (back), surgery (for shoulder), more injury (fractured ribs), coronavirus (obvs), sneaky job change (watch this space), house refurb (necessary intervention) – not to mention work and life.

But I’m as close to my goal as I’ve ever been. I’m not hitting the necessary miles but I have a plan, I’m getting out regulalry, I’ve got good kit and I know where I’m going. Summer 2021 – 47 miles of the Green Man will happen.

What I’ve enjoyed is training close to home. Lockdown and the ongoing COVID hoohah has forced this but I’m getting to know Bristol really well – it’s a beautiful city to run around. Today I took in the Harbourside, Ashton Court, Leigh Woods, Clifton and The Downs.

Tip top.
