Story

Hi there, welcome to my fundraising page…

It's been a while since I did any serious amount of running - the years fly by and the pounds pile on. You can probably tell that from this picture of me in 2014 just after completion of the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
On the 11th of October, we go again..

Those that know me well know that 2025/6 have been tough times at "Dowdall Towers" and we are looking for better times ahead . This seems an appropriate way to put something positive into the mix.

So then....I’m raising money to support Cash for Kids, a charity that makes a real difference to the lives of children and young people.

They focus on alleviating poverty, supporting disability and improving quality of life. Anything you can give is very much appreciated.

After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave a photo or video message too!

Thanks all...Appreciate you even looking at this page.

Peter

Diet: World cup hasn't been too helpful. Weight needs more work.
Fitness: Gym (strength), Tempo running (pace), Long bike ride (endurance) all packed in

Sorry to leave you hanging folks, but sadly, I have had very little to report.

A few weeks back I got a tricky hamstring/Calf problem and have been off the road since then.

Got back out there this morning and put a few miles on the clock and whilst it was hot (even before 8am), I got it done.

Now to find that consistency again!!

Week 3: A couple of weeks on and I’m a few kilos lighter (about 3) and have put a little fitness into the tank.

Consistency of diet and exercise routines needs some tightening.

Injuries: none right now.
Fitness: better than it was but joints feel stiff.
Few weeks out from switching to road running but the bike and the gym are playing their part.

End of Week 1.

Progress this week...
Task 1. Lose weight and add basic fitness.

Ditched the beer and switched my diet up to something leaner.

Exercise: Using the bike and bodyweight drills to get started whilst not loading on the joints until I shed some pounds.

Weight: Down four pounds

Injuries: Slightly inflamed tendon behind the knee - to be expected as I just started up.

Hello there Sir!!!

Good luck on all the training. If you need any tips / tricks on cleaner & healthier meals then let me know.

Guess next time we meet we will have to swap the beers for a green power juice of some sort. 🤪

Speak soon pal and again good luck

There’ll be aches and pains after and your diet plan up to it, I’ll do my best to cook.
You’re such a kind man with a huge heart.
I have every faith in you and am so very proud.
Well done Mr D!
Queen of Dowdall Towers 😘
