Interview with 21km over 21 weekends

What are you most looking forward to doing once you have completed the challenge?

MS: Seeing the final tally! It’s been such a crazy time watching the Just Giving page pass all our wildest expectations. It really has made it so easy to motivate ourselves on the weekends and keep going. I am dreaming of the day we can both have a lie in on a Saturday, though!

How bad are your blisters at the moment?

MS: For now, I’m blister free… I am slightly worried that my running shoes are on their last legs and are going to fail me soon. So, bring on the blisters when I’m wearing the new ones in! We got very carried away with the first half and didn’t pace ourselves in the slightest so hopefully with our new tactic of ‘slow and steady’ I’ll keep any serious niggles away.

GW: My feet are actually holding up quite well, it’s the joints that are the worst!

How can people donate to the challenge?

MS; The Just Giving page! Any donation, large or small, is a huge help! Samaritans are such a fantastic charity, and it would mean the world to bring something positive out of such an awful and tragic situation.
