Fitness with Shan

Hey fellow travellers,

I thought I’d let you know about my other blog in case any of you are interested…

FITNESS WITH SHAN

I am running the London Marathon in April this year so I thought I’d blog my journey.

I am generally quite active – tend to go to 2-4 gym classes per week depending on what I’ve got on. About a year and a half ago I started running; it was mainly short distance but I did work up to a half marathon in Oct 2017 (time was 1 hour 56 mins).

I largely exercise to compensate for my lifestyle; whilst I enjoy going to the gym, I REALLY enjoy eating and drinking what I like. I’m constantly on the go so eat out most of the time, therefore, my diet isn’t the best and I don’t get as much fruit & veg as I should. Hopefully this journey will force me to plan ahead and eat better too.

I have properly started the marathon training this week and am feeling a little nervous about it!

I am fundraising for the elephants. A marathon is going to be a hard task, but if elephants can go through the ‘crush’ and a life in captivity, then I can get through a 26.2 mile run. If you’d like to support me and the elephants, please click here.

Let’s see how I go…
