52 Marathons in 52 Weeks

Having struggled with mental health I decided to take on the most physically demanding challenge I could think of in 2022 - run 52 marathons in 52 weeks raising money for Get Kids Going. A charity devoted to funding sport for children who are disadvantaged.

It was by far the most insane year of my life with so many highs and lows. 4am marathons before work, running 3 in 8 days 3 times, 4 races (Manchester, Brighton, London, Goodwood) and every emotion / problem I didn't even think possible.

To anybody that does or ever has struggled with your mental health - speak up to those around you. You can pull through it. It is possible. Even when it might not seem it.

Thank you to my team, friends and family who supported me on this journey, it wouldn't have been possible without you all.

If anybody would like to donate to the fundraiser, the link is below. Out of a £5.2k I was able to end with over £6.5k. The Charity & I appreciate every donation:

This feels like only the beginning, I'll be back this year trying to push myself further. You can follow my journey on Instagram (@chrisslaterrr) and Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/52889461
