My Challenge is to Run 10 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024
My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...
I’m taking on Ned’s uncomfortable challenge of running 10k a day for 10 days to push myself and raise awareness for the homeless and those struggling in life. Ned’s dedication to stepping outside his comfort zone inspired me, and while this challenge will be tough, it’s nothing compared to the daily hardships many face. I’m doing this to show support and make a difference.

Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Day 6
Friday 25th Oct At the point now where I’m struggling to lift my feet off the ground and keep any sort of rhythm or pace. Super disappointed with my effort this morning but there’s not much I can do, my body is now completely rejecting the running. 4 Days to go😭. Little side note: my back has started seizing up😁 I’ll put the link to my donation page here: Share
Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Day 5
Friday 25th Oct Made it to the halfway point 🥳! My body is now completely rejecting the running, I’ve got a horrible wheezing cough, my ass is burning, struggling to breathe on some occasions and my legs are killing. All of that is nothing compared to what Nedd has done and been through so I just have to keep pushing till the end! More donations are coming in which is great aswell. Little side note from today, I was struggling towards the end of the 8th kilometre until some bloke slowed right down in his car and gave me a few honks of encouragement and a cheer, what a legend!

Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Day 4
Thursday 24th Oct Stupidly ran in the heat again back from school, lots of pinch climbs and long uphill sections. Blisters on my feet and my heart rate is screaming. Didn’t crack 50 or even close to 50 so disappointed with this one, hopefully it gets easier as I go but it’s still going to be a struggle. Walking is painful at this point. Share
Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Day 3
Tuesday 22nd Oct Note to self don’t run 10k at peak heat( I nearly died). Day 3 and I’m really feeling it, the only thing getting me through this is the thought of Nedd doing 1000 miles, my feet are starting to kill and so are my legs. Here’s to 7 more days💀💀💀. Share
Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Day 2
Monday 21st Oct Hurting already after day 1, still trying to keep my pace under 50 minutes. The runners high is helping me through the back end but it’s definitely a struggle. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s going to be a long 10 days🏃♂️💨😤😮💨 Share
Day 1 Complete!
Sunday 20th Oct Managed to crack 50 minutes after a big night out, nothing is stopping me from completing this challenge LETS FUCKING GO!! (Gonna be a long 10 days😭😮💨) Share
