There is a charity very very dear to me and for which I could (in theory!) get a place in the London marathon next year. I would love to run a marathon to raise funds for them and I would also love the physical challenge of getting properly fit with a goal in mind.
I did get quite fit a couple of years ago and did a cycling event for the charity, but since then I have piled on tons of weight and stopped exercising totally.
Is it possible to go from 2 stone overweight, completely unfit and not much of a runner to marathon-fit in 9 months, and if so how do I go about it?
Perhaps I am being too ambitious for 2013 and should think of 2014? There's one thing setting myself up with a goal and another thing to fail and not manage to raise the funds / let sponsors down.
