Run Fatboy Run. by arminakas

In the spirit of todays society and wanting things now, I decided the only way to get fit was to train for a marathon.  With 24 weeks left to the start date, I figured that the task was not going to be easy.  With a starting weight of 17st 7 at 35 years old, not having run in 20 years, the only way is up. So this blog will probably document the highs and lows of training for a marathon from scratch.

I am doing this for charity, so it's not purely a selfish reason.  I'm supporting the British Red Cross and hoping to raise loads of cash for their worthy cause.  If you like, you can always help with the fundraising by either sponsoring me here or spreading the word about my goals.

Silverstone Half Marathon time -> 2'20"27...

You should be able to follow my running as I'll be posting all of my runs onto Nike+.

Any and all help appreciated.  Please give generously as I'm not built for running!!
