Day 63

26.34 miles on the bike this evening after a day at work, meaning I have just 36 more miles to go to complete the challenge. As I have previously mentioned I am saving 12-13 miles for Saturday morning when I am going to run from my flat in Worcester to BRFC.

 Had a few issues with the gears on my bike today, they seemed to be struggling to get into the right place, I was heading out towards Kempsey and turned back because I didn't think they could handle it and I didn't want to break anything. However as I got back into Worcester they seemed to have sorted themselves out so I turned back and looped over the river and Upton and back to Worcester, a nice route!

 Almost there!

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

Headed out for a run after a day at work and ran 5.86 miles at 8 minute 20 pace so pretty slow but it is still incredibly hot out there, serious amount of sweat! I am very close to the 700 mile mark now which is another amazing milestone to reach, I will then be into my last 110 miles to complete the challenge which is exciting. Thanks for all the continued support! Ed

17.80 miles on the bike today. Took on the same route as yesterday in an attempt to complete an 18-20 miles loop but can't seem to break the 18 mile mark in an hour. I am halfway towards my fundraising target of £1000 and hope I can surpass that mark. Thanks for all the support so far, it is really motivating me to keep going, especially DHC Services as the main sponsor of my challenge! I was also fortunate enough to receive a shout out on the BBC 5 Live Rugby Union Weekly Podcast, promoting the challenge! It was great to hear Danny Care, Ugo Monye and Chris Jones supporting my fundraising challenge for Bromsgrove Rugby Club, a massive thank you to BBC Rugby Union Producer Louise Gwilliam for sorting it all out.  Follow the link to give it a listen, the shout out is in the last 6 minutes. Trainers are on the way, so I can get some running miles completed as well! All the best. BBC 5 Live Rugby Union Weekly Podcast:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p088tsg2
