Day 21

Completed my longest run of the challenge so far with a total of 7.54 miles!

I found todays runs the most challenging so far, I'm not quite sure why. It could be something to do with running at this time of day rather than first thing in the morning before eating, but still managed to run my furthest distance so far.

I had a rare day in school today which was great but felt really strange to be back. I am definitely missing work and everything that comes with working at school, but there is no sign of schools reopening any time soon. There are lots of rumours about reopening being banded about, some say May 11th, some say June and some people suggesting we might not be back till September but we will have to wait and see!

Attached a few pictures of me running today, check out the sweat in the last one!

My story My name is Ed Spalding and I am the Bromsgrove 1st XV captain. We all find ourselves in a very challenging situation. First and foremost make sure you are staying safe in these unprecedented times. I have been a part of Bromsgrove Rugby Football club for 6 years and it has become a hugely important part of my life. These are incredibly difficult times for our club and lots of other rugby clubs all over the country. The immediate effect on BRFC is that we are unable to open for the foreseeable future which is going to have huge financial implications for the club. Therefore I have decided to start a cycling and running challenge to raise money for BRFC and our amazing NHS over the next 4 months. I will be aiming to cover the distance between BRFC's home ground Finstall Park and The Stade de France, the venue for the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final. I will be starting my challenge on the 1st April, aiming to finish by the 1st August, the distance is 810 miles in total...

Day 35

HALF WAY MARK! I ran 7.42 miles today which takes me over the half way mark. I have run or cycled for an hour for 35 consecutive days so effectively covered 406.35 miles in 35 hours with a total of 403.65 miles to complete my challenge! I have really enjoyed the challenge, it has given me a good focus in these crazy times, my running has really improved and I feel much more comfortable running now and have even enjoyed it which I never thought I would say. The cycling gives me a good opportunity to switch off and get some miles done! Thanks so much for all the support with my challenge so far, it has been absolutely incredible. It is going to really support Bromsgrove Rugby Club and the NHS. If you still want to donate please follow this link: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/the-road-to-paris

Day 25

7.26 miles on foot this morning which takes me past the 300 mile mark in 25 days (25 hours) of running or cycling. Really pleased with how the running is going and the challenge in general has been really enjoyable so far. I have completed 302 miles meaning I have 508 to go, so still a big distance to cover, but looking forward to knocking some more miles off. Please donate if you haven't already by following this link:  https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/the-road-to-paris Cheers, Ed
