Epic WALKING Challenge

On Saturday 16th May, at 00:00:01am, I’m looking to participate in something extraordinary.

Starting at one second past midnight I’ll start walking a treadmill at Viegli HQ. 

Stopping only for comfort breaks and occasional food I plan to walk for at least 23 hours out of the 24 right through to 23:59:59.

I will cover at least 65 miles. I am hoping for 70.

Now, this is where you come in. On the day you can log your own activity. Walk, Run, Row, Bike – I don’t care. Log your milage on the day and lets see, as a group, if we can cover Lands End to John O’Groats in 24 hours.

Get involved
LOG ACTIVITY

I’ll be doing my part from the Viegli training centre. That’s connected to MS Teams so I’ll publish a meeting so that you can join me and say hello during the 24 hours…..and to check that I’m actually walking!

Let me know if you can help. If you fill in the form above I’ll add you to a WhatsApp group I’m using for updates. You can also practice logging an activity using the Log Activity button.

Have I?

Why I AM doing this...

It seems to me that every bit of news these days is bad. Maybe we’ve forgotten just how wonderful our country is, just how wonderful the people in it are, and our capacity for being a bit mad.

A few months ago I was morbidly obese. Today I’m just obese. But next year I plan on being fit, toned and healthy. Like all good sales people I need a target. I need to be challenged and I need a real reason to get my fat backside out there and train. The second half of 2025 has been consumed with losing weight. The year of 2026 will be consumed with training, scaring myself half to death, and getting fit again.

Can a 54 year old really go from 23 1/2 stone to running a six minute mile within a year?

Let’s find out!!

I’ll do everything I can to make sure he does. If you could find it in yourself to sponsor me, or join me on my quest, then it’s all for two amazing charities….
