Although Philip and I have started training for the Baikal Ice Marathon a little while ago, it is suddenly starting to become a bit clearer with the enormity of the task ahead.
My job as Philip's Personal Trainer is relatively simple, ie to make sure that he and I are in the best possible shape for the marathon, no mean task as Philip has not run a marathon , let alone on ice.
We still have time and Philip's training is going really well, a PB at Tenby 10K recently with Burnham Beeches Half Marathon this weekend. Philip’s dedication to his training and to taking rest day as scheduled are testament to his determination to completing Baikal Ice Marathon.
Now the other side of this challenge is to raise £10,000 for the Iian Rennie Hospice at Home Charity, to me this is a bigger challenge than running the marathon. We will be holding an auction later in the year which we hope will be a big success and also doing some crazy challenges, (to be decided and ideas welcome), it will raise money to help us achieve our targets then we are up to most challenges.
So far everything is going well, Philip is on a rest day, so enjoy, as tomorrow we have training and on Sunday a half marathon (must find somewhere to run on ice) .....
Trevor
Sunday, March 4th, 2012, Philip and Trevor will be running across the frozen ice surface of the world’s largest, oldest and deepest lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. It's generally considered one of the 10 toughest marathons in the world. Philip and Trevor are running in support of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes.
