Mission

In February ‘19 I’m going to attempt to break the world record for the number of ultra marathons run on consecutive days on a 400m running track. My attempt will (hopefully) end on International Women’s Day. The current record is 7 days - I'm aiming for 12. I'm an experienced ultra-runner with some seriously good coaches behind me, so I'm confident that I can get this done. This isn’t a ‘look at me’ project. I want to break the taboo surrounding menopause, get people sharing their stories, promote the benefits of healthy lifestyles to help manage symptoms and to raise funds for much needed research. Wellbeing of Women is my chosen charity. When I neededadvice, they really helped me out - but I’m sure there are other folk and networks who could help to encourage conversations about menopause. Thank you!

Menopause (Ultra) Marathons - 12 in 12

Description

Hi, I'd really love some help to knock my campaign into shape. In Feb 2019, I'm going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days to run an ultra-marathon distance (female) - on a 400m running track. That's 31.0686 miles a day for 12 days, 372.82 miles in total, 124 laps of the track every day and a total of 1,488 laps over 12 days. Don't worry - I'm an experienced ultra-runner with some top coaches behind me. The current record is 7 days. I'm doing this to raise funds for Wellbeing of Women so they can fund much needed research into the menopause. Every spare minute I have is spent on training, so I'd really be so grateful or any help I can get to maximise the opportunity to get folk talking about this really important issue. Many thanks for reading, Erica.
