Telford Runner Completes 12 Marathons in 12 Days for Severn Hospice

Transcript

00:00So Tim, you've just finished 12 marathons in 12 days, how are you feeling?

00:03Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay. I've had a few problems with my knees throughout the days,

00:08well my knee more than my knees, but yeah, overall not so bad.

00:13Finishing the snow as well?

00:14Yeah, it was a bit of a challenge. It definitely makes it harder,

00:19a bit slippy and you've just got to take it that little bit steadier.

00:23You're raising money for Seven Hospice?

00:25Yeah, I think at the moment they're just giving pages up to about 3,100 I think.

00:31I think with the gift aid, someone mentioned earlier, just over 4,000.

00:37Hopefully, now you guys are covering it as well, it might go up a tad more.

00:43They looked after my nan and towards the end she was quite scared in the hospital

00:49and they moved her to the hospice and then she was at peace in there.

00:54And then my grandad, he's always volunteered for the hospice as well.

00:59And then, yeah, you don't hear a bad word about them, everything you hear is,

01:04they looked after so and so, they looked after this person, looked after that person,

01:07you don't hear anything bad at all.

01:09And the local, I'd rather do something for a local charity than,

01:14every charity is good, but I'd rather look after the locals.

01:18Um, the first day, I basically, I didn't, it sounds a bit bad, sounds a bit grim,

01:24but I didn't cut my toenail, I was quite short enough and I busted my big toenail up.

01:30And then the second day, I changed trainers to try and stop that from happening

01:35and I got a blister on the same foot on the little toe.

01:38Yeah, so the first two days, I hit those two problems and then like day three,

01:42four, five, I was kind of compensating on the left leg and I think that's where the

01:46left knee is playing up.

01:47But as the days have gone on, like since eight, it's been a bit better and like,

01:53I want to thank everyone, like there's a fair few lads that joined me on the bike

01:57and then joined me for half or full runs.

02:00So it's been good really, it's something to,

02:03it's been like a goal to have over the Christmas break, so thank you.

02:07Just quickly, what are your plans from here on, have you got any more challenges coming up?

02:11We'll see, I have a tendency to plan things.

02:18When it'll be, I don't know, but maybe, maybe something a bit bigger.

02:24No, it's 120.
