Think you might be there now. 😉
Good luck with the training and the event.
All the best.

Thanks mate - that's a brilliant gesture thank you. Keith lived for those days and nights out with you guys. He used to say I could join you one time if only I was a bit fitter and a bit better on a MTB 🙂
Meant to donate a while ago when i first read this, sorry its taken a while, good luck with this
Hi all
I have 6 Science in Sport Energy Go bars (banana and banana fudge flavours), plus a brand new unused SIS water bottle, to give away as a pack.
If you've donated to my JustGiving page and would like them please post below and then email me your address (email in my profile). First come first served. I'll post at my cost.
Cheers
Nath
Just donating... not for the SIS stuff but for your support for Keith - sorry no Gift Aid as i'm offshore.. Respect
Big couple of weeks of training on both bike and running, ending with fleet half marathon this morning. The legs gave up after just 4km and after that it was all about mental strength. So tired, I'm 4 months into training now which is about half way and it's leaving me feeling absolutely smashed.
You'll be fitter for the 2nd half, it's daylight and the weather is better.
You got this.

Being tired is a sign the training load is ramping up. Have a rest week; make sure you enjoy 'training' for a few days/ a week etc then get back on it and smash it.
'What would keith do?' has become a bit of a mantra/ motivator for me. Happy memories of going out on some hard bike ride, then keith telling me he ran 30km the day before!!
Let us know if you fancy a training ride some time.
32km run before work this morning, on the back of 30km run Saturday and 50 miles recovery ride on Sunday. Loving it. No really.
Big thumbs up too you curto,great dedication!!
just spotted this...done. good luck!
Thank you to everyone who's sponsored me.
Today's my 37th birthday and it marks a year to the day I last saw my bud alive. Off out for a 20 mile run round the New Forest where we used to run together.
Last long run before the marathon and then moving into the BRIC phase of my training programme after that.
You've all given me the motivation I need to stay strong on days like today.
Doing a brilliant job!
Done - Good cause / good luck.
Exactly a year ago today I was riding the Lionheart 100 Sportive. I couldn't have known I'd get back to the car to over 100 missed calls, with the news that Keith had finally lost his epic battle.
Hope you're doing ok up there buddy.

Well it's finally marathon day. Just need to smash this out and then I'm allowed to ride my bike again
Good luck!
have a good one. porridgy breakfast!
Good luck curto, let us know how you found it today
Can't believe there's only 6 weeks to go now.
I've run 500 miles this year which is 1000 miles a year pace and further than I've ever run over a sustained period before.
Since the Soton marathon the bike has been coming back and I'm feeling stronger now. Did a decent 70 miles around my bit of the South Downs this morning (Old Winchester, Butser, Combe down). Been chilling this afternoon ahead of an hour run tonight and then 3 hour run back up the Downs tomorrow.
Next weekend is a race day practice which is a long ride and then run up Great Dun Fell along the Penine Way.
Starting to get a bit scared. Just gotta keep moving though right?

just a run, a bike ride and another run. what's to be scared of! 😉
you'll smash it.
So exactly one more month to go until the big day.
Last weekend was a big day of riding in the Pennines and then a run up Great Dun Fell. Felt pretty strong.
Tomorrow big ride through the new forest and around the Isle of Wight and then a long run on Sunday.
Anyone fancy 50 miles round the new forest tomorrow? 5.30am start.
Last weekend of training for this, before tapering. 2 weeks until race day. Gulp.
So close now to hitting the £6k mark for Bloodwise.

Not been on the forum for a while and missed this - whilst I didn't know Keith you're right - cancer needs to be kicked in the knackers.
Done and good luck - sounds a truly horrible event and top marks for all your fundraising.
Just gone though the £6k barrier of sponsorship.
SIX THOUSAND POUNDS
All of you are amazing.
So close to 200 sponsors...

amazing well done bud.
Just back from last weekend BRIC session. Tapering down now so only 50km bike/16km run. Muggy out there though so hard work jogging up the hill to Cheesefoot Head.
This time next week I'll be faffing around at registration. Cannot wait to get this done.

Thank you for sticking this thread, really appreciated it. Time to let it make its way down the pages now I suspect.
Just been at the Bloodwise annual sports awards. Just missed out on the Challenger of the Year Award but got runner up and a nice little speech about Keith from Rebecca Charlton. Thanks again everyone who sponsored me. In some stupid way I feel like this is closure now.
