From the Adriatic Sea to the North, a story as old as time - tailwind in the first half, 120mph headwind in the second wind 🙃
Huge thanks to Big Dan Stones for supporting the cause and running with me through this one - definitely wouldn’t have got out of bed after landing in Newcastle 1am this morning otherwise!
19 left with the GNR Great Run around the corner, if anyone wants to run next Saturday and support James’ Place give me a message!

34 half marathons in 33 weeks — done and dusted! ONLY 20 TO GO!! 🙋♂️
Running along the coast of Montenegro may look and sound enjoyable… but it most definitely was not 😂
Running alongside dual carriageways and navigating gravel paths that seemed to lead absolutely nowhere was certainly not top of my to do list. But this is a challenge for a reason!
Back on home soil for next Friday’s run, and hopefully 30 degrees cooler! 🏃♂️
As I get closer to the end of the challenge, the runs are becoming more and more difficult. So, if anyone would like to join me for a half marathon — or even just part of one — drop me a message🖤🤍

Was nice not running in sweltering heat this week - who knew wind and rain felt so good.
31st half marathon of the challenge complete, 20 odd to go. If you haven’t already, please go and follow James’ Place to see the incredible work they do for men in suicidal crisis.
Big shoutout to everyone at UNW for last weeks run, raising over £3000 for James’ Place and in memory of Sam 🖤🤍

That one was special.
The UNW x Run for Sam Half Marathon in memory of Sam Johnson.
Today would have been Sam’s memorial tournament, so a big thank you to the guys at UNW for organising this half. To run with so many of Sam’s friends and colleagues was amazing and after injuring myself last Sunday (playing cricket btw, less said about that the better!), I couldn’t have done it without them.
Special thanks to , Cam Renwick , and
Onto 31 next week. LIKE. SHARE. DONATE. SUPPORT. 🖤🤍

Not sure what was harder, running in the heat or running past the packed pubs…
A lot of stops and meltdowns (literally) but happy it’s another one done 💪

Buzzing to have made it to halfway and what a run to do it - Budapest Night Half Marathon, although would have preferred not doing it in a heatwave 😅 Even better running with one of mine and Sam’s best mates! Tom Coyne
What a feeling knowing there’s more runs behind me than ahead of me now. 90% of the fundraising target hit already so thank you to everyone who has supported, and also thank you to anyone who has liked, shared and followed the journey. The more people who see this then the more people who know about James’ Place and that is the most important message from this challenge so please please like and share! 🖤🤍
27. The feeling of finishing something you never thought you would.
