Creo trio take on 48 hour running
challenge Ryan Tom George
How do you normally like to spend
your weekends ? Most people enjoy relaxing on the sofa , taking the dogs for a walk or watching a movie . For a few of the Creo team , this clearly isn ’ t enough action .
Ryan , Tom and George are taking part in the 4x4x48 running challenge , made famous by ex- US Navy SEAL David Goggins . The challenge is simple , at least on paper . Participants have to run four miles , every four hours , for a total of 48 hours .
By the end of the challenge , anyone mentally and physically tough enough to finish it will have completed 12 runs and covered 48 miles . Sleep deprivation and aching muscles will be the hardest aspects of the challenge . Not to mention the mentally draining aspect of it all .
David Goggins has almost 4 million Instagram followers , and thousands of them will be taking on the challenge at the same time from all around the world . Runners are being encouraged to share their stories on social media in order to create a support community as people attempt the gruelling challenge .
By taking on the run , the guys are hoping to raise money for the Scottish Association for Mental Health . Tom ran a marathon last year , and the JustGiving page is still open . He ’ s hoping he can add to the incredible total he and his running partner were able to raise after suffering the loss of a close friend at the beginning of 2020 .
If anyone would like to donate , all proceeds go directly to SAMH . With a mental health crisis enveloping the country , SAMH help people suffering from mental ill health and provide counselling sessions .
Wishing the boys well in their attempt . We hope the weather is kind to you and you enjoy whatever feast you have planned afterwards !
