WHAT:
On 27th April 2017, Simon will attempt to run 100 miles non-stop
from New York to the Rocky Steps, Philadelphia. That’s approx 4
continuous marathons, non-stop, no sleep, thru the dead of the
night. It’s not an organised race. It’s just Simon running solo
with a small team supporting with food/water and using google maps
for directions!! Estimated time to complete it: 30-36 hours
non-stop run/walk forward motion.
WHY DO THIS:
It all began in January 2013... with a blog called “Simon’s Rocky
Road”. It described a journey which began with the idea of running
100 miles non-stop from New York to The Rocky Steps in Philadelphia
for my brother's 40th birthday. It described the training/diet, and
it travelled thru the ups & the downs of what it would take for one
over-weight amateur runner, who had never even ran a half-marathon
before, to achieve his ambition in 3 months.
The blog also gave an insight into living with mental health
issues:
