Schools Half Marathon Challenge and Jogging
Ben has signed up to compete in the Plymouth School’s Half Marathon challenge, which means he needs to run all of the miles of a half marathon at school, whenever he can, but leave the last 1.5 miles until the actual day of the Plymouth Half Marathon. He will then run this last amount on the day.
He has been doing well so far and has completed all the running that has been scheduled apart from the latest mile as he was off ill from school. So he has a little bit to catch up and the race is only 2 months away now! He has mostly been doing this in running club, but he has had to do the odd mile during other lunch breaks.
I have been out with Ben to run around the block as well on a couple of occasions, to try and train him up! It has been fun and we have both enjoyed it. Our current route is 1.9 miles and takes us from our house to Roborough to Tesco and then back home again. 😉 Ben has got a stitch on both runs so far but has managed to keep up with me although I have been going much slower than I would normally!
We will all be going in to see him complete the challenge in May, so hopefully it will be a nice morning!
