My Progress

I'm running 150km this May to leave MS behind

My Progress

171.66km

My Target

150km

Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

I’m taking part in The May 50K challenge this May to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis!

MS strikes young people in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure.

Please make a donation and support my challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Your donation will support research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis to change lives.

Thank you!

My Updates

Run #18 - that’s a wrap for may!

This one felt really good! It also put me over 170KM for the month! By far my biggest running month ever! So happy I decided to take this challenge and push myself more than ever before. Even better that I was able to raise over $1,000 for MS!

Run #17

29/5/23 First night time run of the month. A nice easy paced 5K.

Run #16 - distance goal smashed!

Well, there it is! A 10K run with Matt that broke the 150KM ceiling! Never did 150 in a month! What a great feeling!

Run #15

A nice 10K with Matt after three days off from running. Felt OK, but not sure the rest did me much good.

Run #14

A midday 5 miler, half uphill, half down! Solid pace, felt strong. Could have done more!

Run #13

A late afternoon 10K Tuesday run with Matt… and let’s make it 11K! So close to my 150K goal now!

Run #11 (a bit late)

Forgot to add a post for #11. Started out as a 4K but went 5 at a 5:11 average. Felt strong!

Run #12

Long run with Matt. Felt good! A really good pace and some solid splits. Cool and breezy with headwind on the second half.

Run #10

A quick 4K today to see if I could after yesterday😂 Felt great! 4KM / 5:20 average pace.

Run #9 - the half!

Well, today was BIG! A half marathon distance and my best time ever doing it! it also put me over 50% of my distance goal! Today’s run 21.1KM at a 5:35 average pace.

Run #8

Second run after three rest days - not feeling refreshed. Felt slow, but midday runs often are. 5.46KM / 5:29 average.

Run #7

A solid 10K+ with Matt on a beautiful summer-like Sunday afternoon.

Run #6

Yesterday was Run #6. A lovely run along the coast on a day that felt like summer. Managed 6KM at a 5:22 average. Takinf a couple of days off now as I am at 34% of my distance goal on day 8.

Run #5

Today was 11K at a 5:18 average. A fairly usual Tuesday morning. I have been doing my own thing called ‘10K Tuesday’ and this was week 45 of at least 10K every Tuesday! My goal is to make it a year - getting close!

Run #4

Had a little spare time after work for a short run. 6K / 5:15 average pace. Felt ok, not great… The month is long!

Run #3

May 5, 2024 - Run #3 was 6 KM with Matt. Finished with a 5:22 average. Still not feeling great… and it’s definitely not seasonal allergies🤦🏻‍♂️ Side note, Matt is doing the May 50K too, and he’s nursing a lung infection! Yep, we’re crazy, but we are dedicated!

Run #2

May 3, 2024 - Run #2 was a hilly 8 KM at a 5:12 average. Felt like I am getting a cold, or maybe (hopefully) seasonal allergies. Time will tell!

Run #1

May 1, 2024 - Run #1 was just over 12KM at a 5:20 average. Felt great! It’s gonna be a good month!

Fundraising Update - May 1

Well here we are, the first day of May! While I slept it seems the my fundraising goal was reached! Thank you all so much! 

It looks like I’m running 150KM this month!

Trial run

Today I ran with my friend Matt and I tracked the run using the May 50K app. It was a test to see if I could track with the app and my usual tracking via Nike Run Club. I’m happy to say it was a success! I intend to run the full 150km in May. I am very stoked to push my limits and go more distance than ever before in one month, beginning one week from now!

Thank you to my Sponsors
