The Breath Running Coach  is taking on an incredible challenge: running 200 marathons across 25 locations in 100 days to raise money for two brain injury charities:

He’ll be coming to Harpenden between 20th–23rd July, and local runners are encouraged to join him for a 5K or 10K loop , or even more or less depending on what suits you. The pace for the 10K will be around an hour or slower, so it’s designed to be inclusive and social rather than competitive.

Not just the performance, but the resilience, determination, and courage it took to get there. A truly amazing achievement.
