Alli's latest update on her training progress.
"All recovered from the cold and a brief holiday in France.
I’m back to exercising 5 days a week and increasing my mileage prior to my focused training programme starting next week. I’m going to be giving Yoga a try…I’m the least flexible person I know so it should be interesting and hopefully I’ll be able to do it!
It will do me good especially combined with my HIIT sessions and the running - in my new running shoes - woo hoo!!.
A mixed training approach makes life much more fun."

"I am raising money for our local MNDA in Kent as a friend was diagnosed with this cruel condition last year. She and her husband have had support from East and Mid Kent MNDA. I last ran a Marathon (London) over 20 years ago, more as a rite of passage than a real desire. This time it is different. I have a clear motivation to raise money for MNDA and I already have my training plan organised for the next 5 months. Above all I am excited!!!! My husband has shaken his head in disbelief at me (yet again), but he is incredibly supportive and knows if I set my mind to something it will happen."
