How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

With less than a week before I take on Challenge 9 - London Duathlon, I thought I'd look back over some of the great coverage that I have had about the whole challenge and help raise awareness of the great work that Springboard Opportunity group do.

I realised when I was going through them that I hadn't shared the interview/article that was done by Technogym several weeks ago. The guys have been great supporting me throughout the year and I hope you like the article - Technogym

On the theme of everyday people doing amazing things I was sent an email recently with a film from the Ironman UK. This was a team of everyday people being given the opportunity to be supported like a pro athlete thanks to Sportpursuit. 

Take a look at the film, it certainly gets me in the mood for an Ironman! Team Sportpursuit

From everyday people to world class athletes, I was also lucky enough to be back at the Olympic park over the weekend for the National Paralympic Day which was a great event. 

I took James along and as well as watching Team GB in Boccia and Table Tennis, James met a number of the heroes from last years Paralympics including Hannah Cockroft and Ben Quilter.

For me seeing James face when he had a medal round his neck was amazing and I personally believe that meeting athletes at events like this and talking to them about their experiences is a massive part of inspiring a generation.

As well as meeting the athletes he was also able to try out some of the sports including Boccia and wheelchair basketball.

It was great to see him trying a number of different sports that he wouldn't usually get to play and was a great rest day for me ahead of Sunday!
