Toms Spirit of Belron Challenge - Updates

Update 11

19 August 2024

25km last week gives me a grand total of 391km run and $1146 raising for Afrika Tikkun. Big relief to be finally caught up with all of your donations. Definitely one of the harder challenges I’ve set for myself and I’m happy to get through it injury free. This time next month will be in the U.K so head over to @sobc_nz on Instagram to see some updates from the teams trip. I’ll continue to post the last of my training runs here for anyone still interested. Big thanks again for helping me with my fundraising efforts

Always interested Tom. 👏

Update 10

12 August 2024

Battled through 27.5km last week. Final push this week to get it all tidied up. Will double check my book keeping but I believe with the current donations I’ll be finally all caught up. Will take a well deserved rest week to let the body heal up before doing a couple more long runs for pace to hopefully be able to set a nice new pb on race day. Jobs not done yet!

Update 9

5 August 2024

We break the 300km mark with 34km last week. Shin splints have been the story of the last week making for a few uncomfortable runs but still managed to a decent paced 10km done on Saturday. About 70km left to get wrapped up so will be good to have a bit of recovery time before Raceday. But for now I’ll keep pushing on!

Update 8!

29 July 2024

This update brings another 35km ticked off the ever growing kilometre count. With the trip fast approaching it’s good to have smashed through my fundraising goal and can now focus on getting the last of the running done. We’re about 6 weeks out from jetting off to England and the excitement is growing. Will start to knock of some more long runs now and hopefully come in pretty good shape to put up a decent time for the half marathon at Dorney Lake. Thanks everyone!

So excited for you.

Update 7

21 July 2024

Refreshed after a rest week I’ve got another 51km to log. I've achieved my fundraising goal thanks to a big wave of support from the operations team at work getting me over the $1000 mark. Can’t say enough thanks for everyone who’s made a donation so far. This last week has pushed me over 250km run since I started, happy to be getting to the tail end of it.

Well done you. 👏👏

Update 6

8 July 2024

Another 31km done over the last 10 or so days. Few nagging injuries and a little health incident on Saturday means it’s time for a rest week for me. Will be letting the body recover for a few days then will get back out there and push towards the final goal.

Wow that’s a few ks. Glad you having a rest week.

Update 5

26 June 2024

Getting closer to reaching my goal thanks to all of your support. Have another 28km logged in the last week. Weathers been a bit wet making the running less appealing but planning some get some good mileage done over the long weekend. Thanks everyone!
