After some much publicised recent health problems I've signed up for the Hull 10k, taking place on Father's Day, in June. I aim to complete it via a mixture of walk, run & wobble.

I've been taking training seriously, as you can imagine, & have even arranged some warm weather training in Gran Canaria for next week.

In order to keep me enthused, focused & motivated I've been raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) via my Just Giving page. It's a charity close to my heart & one that has been embraced previously by the Hull City family after the Josh Fell tragedy a few years ago. CRY are an excellent charity that helps young people & their families deal with all cardiac conditions. They reduce the number of sudden cardiac deaths, support young people with life threatening cardiac conditions, fund screening programmes & medical research as well as offering bereavement support to families.

If you would like to help motivate me you can do so by making a donation using the link below. If you're not able to make a donation please feel free to feed my enthusiasm with cake & beer.

Thanks for reading, any donations given & any kind advice that I'm sure you'd like to give.

I ran the London Marathon on Sunday, best advice I can give is that if you're moving forward you're going in the right direction.

Still plenty of time to train, if the race is 10k I'd advise getting to 8 or ideally 9 in your training. Although I'm not very fast I do a fair bit of running so let me know any particular advice you'd like and am happy to share my experience.

As an aside I think I terrified a spectator on Sunday by bellowing "COMONYOULL" at them as I ran past and saw them waving a City flag.

Congratulations on completing the Marathon, a great achievement!

Thanks for your advice, no doubt I''ll ask more nearer to the race.

I'm managing 4k on a 3 minute split of walking/running. I've had diffficulty shifting weight, still 19 stone, so don't want to knack my knees beforehand. I'm spending a lot of time building up my stamina on the cross trainer at the gym which I was told isn't too bad for the knees & run:walking twice a week. After the holiday I plan to pick up an extra kilometre a week until the race.

I will finish it.

Extra km a week sounds sensible - the only times I've got injured is when I've tried to build up distance too fast / too soon. You may already be following one but those couch to 10k apps are good.

Good on you and good luck!
